Ezekiel 37:5

5 haec dicit Dominus Deus ossibus his ecce ego intromittam in vos spiritum et vivetis

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.
