Ezek. 37:1‑14• 1The hand of Jehovah was upon me, and carried me out in the Spirit of Jehovah, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
 2and caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

 4And he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of Jehovah.
 5Thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
 6and 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 Jehovah.
 7So 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.
 8And 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.
 9Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
 10So 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.
