13
And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and raise you from your graves, O my people.
14
And I will put my Spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I am the Lord; I have spoken, and I will do it, declares the Lord. ā
15
The word of the Lord came to me:
16
āSon of man, take a stick and write on it, āFor Judah, and the people of Israel associated with himā; then take another stick and write on it, āFor Joseph (the stick of Ephraim) and all the house of Israel associated with him. ā
17
And join them one to another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.
