The word of the Lord came unto me again Immediately or quickly after he had the above vision of the dry bones, and the explanation of it: saying: as follows:
13
And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have opened your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves, O my people.
14
And I will put my Spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken it and performed it, saith Jehovah.
15
The word of Jehovah came again unto me, saying,
16
And thou, son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and [for] all the house of Israel his companions:
17
and join them for thee one to another into one stick, that they may become one in thy hand.
