Ezekiel 37:5 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 37:5

Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones
By the prophet, who was sent to prophesy over them: behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live;
and none could do this but the living God, who breathed the breath of life into Adam at first, and he became a living soul; to which there seems to be an allusion here; and when the Lord puts his Spirit into men, or bestows his grace on them, then they shall live, and not till then.

Ezekiel 37:5 In-Context

3 He asked me, "Human being, can these bones live?" I answered, "Adonai ELOHIM! Only you know that!"

4 Then he said to me, "Prophesy over these bones! Say to them, 'Dry bones! Hear what ADONAI has to say!

5 To these bones Adonai ELOHIM says, "I will make breath enter you, and you will live.

6 I will attach ligaments to you, make flesh grow on you, cover you with skin and put breath in you. You will live, and you will know that I am ADONAI."'"

7 So I prophesied as ordered; and while I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound; it was the bones coming together, each bone in its proper place.
