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 the LORD when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves
14
and shall put my Spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall cause you to rest upon your own land; then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it and performed it, said the LORD.
15
And the word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
16
Thou, son of man, take one stick and write upon it: To Judah, and to the sons of Israel his companions; then take another stick and write upon it: To Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and to all the house of Israel his companions:
17
and join them one to another that they might become one; and they shall be one in thy hand.
