2 Y me hizo pasar cerca de ellos por todo alrededor; y he aquí que eran muchísimos sobre la faz del campo, y por cierto secos en gran manera.

Ezequiel 37:2 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 37:2

And caused me to pass by them round about
Round, round
^F19; several times round, that he might take exact notice of them, of their number, situation, and condition: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley;
as the Jews were in captivity; and as they will be when they shall be converted; and as the number of Christians will be in the spiritual reign of Christ; and as the dead will be at the time of their resurrection, both of the just and unjust: and, lo, they were very dry;
through length of time they had lain there, exposed to wind and weather; the flesh being wholly consumed from off of them, and the marrow within quite dried up; so that there was no probability or hope, humanly speaking, of their being quickened: these are a fit emblem of men in a state of nature and unregeneracy, who have no spiritual life, but are dead in trespasses and sins; have no sense of sin or danger; no strength to redeem and regenerate themselves, or do anything that is spiritually good; have no spiritual motion; no inward desires after God, or affection to him; no lifting up of the heart to him, or going out of the soul in faith and love to Christ; but in themselves entirely lifeless, helpless, and hopeless.

Ezequiel 37:2 In-Context

1 Y la mano del SEÑOR fue sobre mí, y me sacó en el Espíritu del SEÑOR, y me puso en medio de un campo que estaba lleno de huesos.

2 Y me hizo pasar cerca de ellos por todo alrededor; y he aquí que eran muchísimos sobre la faz del campo, y por cierto secos en gran manera.

3 Y me dijo: Hijo de hombre, ¿vivirán estos huesos? Y dije: Señor DIOS, tú lo sabes.

4 Me dijo entonces: Profetiza sobre estos huesos, y diles: Huesos secos, oíd Palabra del SEÑOR.

5 Así dijo el Señor DIOS a estos huesos: He aquí, yo hago entrar espíritu en vosotros, y viviréis.
