Ezekiel, 37

1. The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which [was] full of bones,

1. The hand of Yahweh was upon me. He brought me out and led me in spirit to the middle of the valley which was full of bones.

2. And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, [there were] very many in the open valley; and, lo, [they were] very dry.

2. He made me walk to and fro among them and I could see there was a great number of them on the ground all along the valley and that they were very dry.

3. And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.

3. Yahweh said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live again?" I said, "Lord Yahweh, only you know that."

4. Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.

4. He then said, "Speak on my behalf concerning these bones; say to them: Dry bones, hear the word of Yahweh!

5. Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

5. Yahweh says: I am going to put spirit in you and make you live.

6. And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

6. I shall put sinews on you and make flesh grow on you; I shall cover you with skin and give you my spirit, that you may live. And you will know that I am Yahweh."

7. So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

7. I prophesied as I had been commanded and then there was a noise and commotion; the bones joined together.

8. And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but [there was] no breath in them.

8. I looked and saw that they had sinews, that flesh was growing on them and that he was covering them with skin. But there was no spirit in them.

9. Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

9. So Yahweh said to me, "Speak on my behalf and call on the Spirit, son of man! Say to the Spirit: This is the word of Yahweh: Spirit, come from the four winds. Breathe into these dead bones and let them live!"

10. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

10. I prophesied as he had commanded me and breath entered them; they came alive, standing on their feet - a great, immense army!

11. Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.

11. He then said to me, "Son of man, these bones are all Israel. They keep saying: 'Our bones are dry, hope has gone, it is the end of us.'

12. Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.

12. So prophesy! Say to them: This is what Yahweh says: I am going to open your tombs, I shall bring you out of your tombs, my people, and lead you back to the land of Israel.

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,

13. You will know that I am Yahweh, O my people! when I open your graves and bring you out of your graves,

14. And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken [it], and performed [it], saith the LORD.

14. when I put my spirit in you and you live. I shall settle you in your land and you will know that I, Yahweh, have done what I said I would do."

15. The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

15. The word of Yahweh came to me in these terms, "Son of man, take a piece of wood and write on it: 'Judah and the Israelites loyal to him.'

16. Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and [for] all the house of Israel his companions:

16. Take another piece of wood and write: 'Joseph, the branch of Ephraim and the Israelites loyal to him.'

17. And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.

17. Join one to the other to make a single piece of wood in your hand.

18. And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou [meanest] by these?

18. When your people say to you, 'Won't you tell us what this means?'

19. Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which [is] in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, [even] with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.

19. say to them: Yahweh says this: I am going to take the branch of Joseph which is in the hand of Ephraim and the tribes of Israel loyal to him and put Judah's branch with them, and they will be as one in my hand.

20. And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.

20. And you will hold in your hand in their sight the pieces of wood on which you wrote.

21. And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:

21. You will then say to them: Thus says Yahweh: I am about to withdraw the Israelites from where they were among the nations. I shall gather them from all around and bring them back to their land.

22. And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:

22. I shall make them into one people on the mountains of Israel and one king is to be king of them all. They will no longer form two nations or be two separate kingdoms,

23. Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.

23. nor will they defile themselves again with their idols, their detestable practices and their sins. I shall free them from the guilt of their treachery; I shall cleanse them and they will be for me a people and I shall be God for them.

24. And David my servant [shall be] king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.

24. My servant David will reign over them, one shepherd for all. They will live according to my laws and follow and practice my decrees.

25. And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, [even] they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David [shall be] their prince for ever.

25. They will settle in the land I gave to my servant Jacob where their forefathers lived. There they will live forever, their children and their children's children. David my servant will be their prince forever.

26. Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.

26. I shall establish a covenant of peace with them, an everlasting covenant. I shall settle them and they will increase and I shall put my sanctuary in their midst forever.

27. My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

27. I shall make my home at their side; I shall be their God and they will be my people.

28. And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

28. Then the nations will know that I am Yahweh who makes Israel holy, having my sanctuary among them forever."

37:1-2 - The vision of the valley of dry bones symbolizes Israel's spiritual death and desolation. God, by bringing life to these bones, demonstrates His power to restore what seems lost. The resurrection symbolizes the spiritual renewal He offers His people (see also Isaiah 26:19 and John 5:28-29).

37:3-6 - God asks Ezekiel if bones can live, challenging the prophet's faith. Ezekiel's answer, "You know," reflects his trust in God, who can bring life even from the most desperate situations (see also Jeremiah 32:17 and Mark 9:23).

37:7-10 - Ezekiel prophesies about the bones, and they become an army of living men. This event is a metaphor for the return and restoration of Israel, who would be brought back to their land after the exile (see also Isaiah 43:5-6 and Romans 11:25-27).

37:11-14 - God promises to restore Israel, bringing His people back to the land and filling them with His Spirit. This points to spiritual restoration and renewal by divine action (see also Ezekiel 36:26-28 and Acts 2:4).

37:15-28 - The union of the two parts of Israel (the northern kingdom and the southern kingdom) symbolizes the reconciliation and complete restoration of God's people. The Lord promises His eternal presence and the establishment of a new covenant of peace (see also Isaiah 11:13-14 and Jeremiah 31:31-34).
