13
And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and bring you up from your graves, O my people.
14
I will put my spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you on your own soil; then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken and will act, says the Lord."
15
The word of the Lord came to me:
16
Mortal, take a stick and write on it, "For Judah, and the Israelites associated with it"; then take another stick and write on it, "For Joseph (the stick of Ephraim) and all the house of Israel associated with it";
17
and join them together into one stick, so that they may become one in your hand.
