Young's Literal Translation
The
hand
of
the
LORD
was
upon me, and He brought
me out
by
His
Spirit and set
me down
in the middle
of the valley, and it was
full of bones .
There
hath
been
upon me a
hand
of
Jehovah
, and He taketh
me forth
in
the
Spirit of
Jehovah,
and doth
place
me in the midst
of the valley, and it is
full of bones ,
He led
me all
around
among
them, and I
saw
a
great
many bones
on the floor
of the valley, and indeed
, they
were
very dry.
and
He causeth
me to
pass
over
by
them, all
round
about,
and lo,
very
many `are'
on the face
of the valley, and lo
, very dry.
Then
He asked
me, “
Son of man, can
these bones come
to
life
? ”
“
O Lord GOD,”
I
replied
, “only
You
know
. ”
And
He saith
unto
me, `
Son of man, do
these bones live
? '
And
I
say,
`
O Lord Jehovah
, Thou
--
Thou
hast
known
. '
And He said
to
me, “
Prophesy concerning these bones and tell
them ,
‘
Dry bones, hear the
word of the
LORD!
And He saith
unto
me, `
Prophesy concerning these bones ,
and thou
hast
said
unto
them :
O
dry bones, hear a
word of Jehovah:
This
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
to these bones: I will
cause
breath
to
enter
you, and you
will
come
to
life.
Thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
to these bones: Lo,
I am
bringing
into
you a
spirit
, and ye
have
lived,
I will
attach
tendons
to
you and make
flesh grow
upon you and cover
you with skin .
I
will
put
breath
within
you
so
that
you
will
come
to
life.
Then
you will
know
that I am the
LORD
. ’”
and
I have
given
on
you sinews,
and cause
flesh to
come
up
upon you ,
and covered
you over
with skin ,
and
given
in
you a
spirit,
and
ye
have
lived,
and
ye
have
known
that I `
am '
Jehovah
. '
So
I prophesied as I had
been commanded .
And
as
I
prophesied
, there was
suddenly
a noise, a rattling
, and the bones came
together
, bone to
bone.
And
I have
prophesied as I have
been commanded, and
there is
a noise, as
I
am
prophesying,
and
lo,
a rushing
, and draw
near
do
the bones, bone unto
its
bone.
As
I looked
on
, tendons
appeared
on them, flesh grew
, and skin
covered
them ;
but
there was
no
breath
in them.
And
I beheld
, and
lo,
on them `are'
sinews
, and
flesh hath
come
up
, and cover
them doth
skin
over
above
--
and
spirit
there is
none
in them.
Then
He said
to
me ,
“
Prophesy to
the breath;
prophesy, son of man, and tell
the breath
that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: Come
from the four winds, O breath
, and breathe into
these slain, so
that
they may
live !”
And
He saith
unto
me :
`
Prophesy unto
the Spirit,
prophesy, son of man, and thou
hast
said
unto
the Spirit:
Thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: From the four winds come
in
, O Spirit
, and breathe on
these slain, and
they do
live .'
So
I prophesied as He had
commanded me, and the breath
entered
them, and they came
to
life
and stood
on their feet —
a vast
army
.
And
I have
prophesied as He commanded me, and the Spirit
cometh
into
them, and they live,
and stand
on their feet --
a very
very
great
force
.
Then
He said
to
me, “
Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel .
Look
, they are saying ,
‘Our
bones
are
dried up, and our hope has
perished;
we are
cut off. ’
And
He saith
unto
me, `
Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel ;
lo
, they are saying :
Dried up have
our
bones
, And perished
hath
our hope ,
We have
been
cut off by
ourselves
.
Therefore prophesy and tell
them that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: ‘O
My
people
, I will
open
your graves and bring
you up from
them
, and I
will
bring
you back
to
the land of Israel.
Therefore ,
prophesy ,
and thou
hast
said
unto
them ,
thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Lo
, I am
opening
your graves ,
And have
brought
you up out
of
your
graves
, O
My
people,
And brought
you in
unto
the land of Israel.
Then
you,
My
people,
will
know
that I am the
LORD
, when
I
open
your graves and bring
you up from
them
.
And
ye
have
known
that I `
am '
Jehovah
, In
My
opening
your graves ,
And in
My
bringing
you up out
of
your
graves,
O
My
people
.
I will
put
My Spirit in you and you
will
live
, and I will
settle
you in
your own
land .
Then
you
will
know
that I ,
the
LORD
, have spoken, and I will
do
it, declares
the
LORD
. ’”
And
I have
given
My Spirit in you ,
and ye
have
lived
, And I have
caused
you to
rest
on
your land ,
And
ye
have
known
that I Jehovah
, I
have spoken, and I have
done
`
it '
, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
. '
Again
the
word of the
LORD
came
to
me, saying,
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto
me, saying,
“
And you
, son of man, take a
single
stick and write on it :
‘Belonging
to
Judah and to
the Israelites
associated
with
him.’
Then
take another stick and write on it :
‘Belonging
to
Joseph —
the stick of Ephraim —
and to
all the house of Israel associated
with
him.’
`
And thou
, son of man, take to
thee
one
stick ,
and write on it ,
For
Judah ,
and for
the sons
of
Israel,
his
companions;
and
take another stick ,
and write on it ,
For
Joseph ,
the stick of Ephraim ,
and all the house of Israel ,
his
companions,
Then
join
them together
into
one stick, so
that
they become one in your
hand.
and
bring
them near
one unto
another,
to
thee,
for
one
stick, and
they have
become one in thy
hand.
When your
people ask
you
, ‘Won’t
you
explain
to us what you
mean
by
these? ’
`And
when sons
of
thy
people speak
unto
thee
, saying,
Dost
thou
not
declare
to us what these `are'
to
thee
?
you
are
to
tell
them that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: ‘
I will
take
the stick of Joseph, which
is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel associated
with
him
, and I
will
put
them together
with the stick of Judah .
I
will
make
them into
a
single
stick, and they will
become
one in My hand. ’
Speak
unto
them ,
Thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Lo,
I am
taking
the stick of Joseph, that
`
is '
in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his
companions
, and have
given
them unto
him,
with the stick of Judah ,
and
have
made
them become
one
stick, and they have
been
one in My hand.
When
the sticks on which you
write
are
in your
hand and
in
full
view
of
the
people
,
And
the sticks on which thou
writest
have
been
in thy
hand before
thine
eyes
,
you
are
to
tell
them that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: ‘
I will
take
the Israelites
out
of the nations to
which
they have gone, and I
will
gather
them from all
around
and bring
them into
their own
land.
and
speak
thou
unto
them :
Thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Lo,
I am
taking
the sons
of Israel,
From
among
the nations whither
they have gone, And have
gathered
them from round
about,
And I
have
brought
them in
unto
their land.
I will
make
them one nation in the land, on the
mountains of Israel, and one king will
rule
over
all
of
them .
Then
they will
no longer
be
two nations and
will
never
again
be
divided into two kingdoms.
And
I have
made
them become
one nation in the land, on mountains of Israel, And one king is
to
them all
for
king,
And
they are
no more
as
two nations ,
Nor
are
they
divided any
more
into two kingdoms again
.
They will
no
longer
defile
themselves
with their idols or
detestable
images
, or
with any of their transgressions .
I will
save
them from
all their apostasies
by
which they sinned, and I will
cleanse
them .
Then
they will
be
My
people, and I will
be
their
God.
Nor
are
they defiled
any
more
with their idols, And
with their
abominations,
And
with
any of their transgressions ,
And
I have
saved
them out
of
all their dwellings,
In
which they have
sinned, And I have
cleansed
them ,
And
they have
been
to
Me
for
a
people, And I --
I
am
to
them
for
God.
My servant David will
be
king over them, and there
will
be
one shepherd for
all
of
them.
They will
follow
My
ordinances
and keep
and observe
My statutes.
And
My servant David `is'
king over them, And one shepherd have
they all,
And in
My
judgments
they
go,
And My statutes they
keep,
and
have
done
them
.
They will
live
in
the land that I gave to My servant Jacob, where
your fathers lived.
They will
live
there
forever
with
their children
and grandchildren
, and My servant David
will
be
their prince forever
.
And
they have
dwelt
on
the land that I gave to My servant ,
to
Jacob, In
which
your fathers have
dwelt,
And
they have
dwelt
on
it,
they
and
their sons,
And their
son's
sons
--
unto
the
age
, And David
My servant `is'
their prince --
to
the
age
.
And I will
make
a covenant of peace with them ;
it
will
be
an
everlasting
covenant.
I will
establish
them and multiply
them, and I
will
set
My sanctuary among
them
forever
.
And I have
made
to
them
a covenant of peace ,
A
covenant
age-during
it
is
with them ,
And
I have
placed
them ,
and multiplied
them, And placed
My sanctuary in
their
midst
--
to
the
age
.
My dwelling
place
will
be
with
them ;
I will
be
their
God, and they will
be
My
people.
And
My tabernacle
hath
been
over
them ,
And
I have
been
to
them
for
God, And they have
been
to
Me
for
a
people.
Then
the nations will
know
that I the
LORD
sanctify
Israel, when
My sanctuary is
among
them
forever.’”
And
known
have
the nations that I Jehovah
am
sanctifying
Israel, In
My sanctuary being
in
their
midst
--
to
the
age!'
