ision of the resurrection of dry bones, foreshewing the deliverance
of the people from their captivity. Juda and Israel shall be all one
kingdom under Christ. God's everlasting covenant with the church.

37:1. The hand of the Lord was upon me, and brought me forth in the
spirit of the Lord: and set me down in the midst of a plain that was
full of bones.

37:2. And he led me about through them on every side: now they were very
many upon the face of the plain, and they were exceeding dry.

37:3. And he said to me: Son of man, dost thou think these bones shall
live and I answered: O Lord God, thou knowest.

37:4. And he said to me: Prophesy concerning these bones; and say to
them: Ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.

37:5. Thus saith the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will send spirit
into you, and you shall live.

Spirit... That is, soul, life, and breath.

37:6. And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to grow over
you, and will cover you with skin: and I will give you spirit and you
shall live, and you shall know that I am the Lord.

37:7. And I prophesied as he had commanded me: and as I prophesied there
was a noise, and behold a commotion: and the bones came together, each

37:8. And I saw, and behold the sinews, and the flesh came up upon them:
and the skin was stretched out over them, but there was no spirit in
them.

37:9. And he said to me: Prophesy to the spirit, prophesy, O son of man,
and say to the spirit: Thus saith the Lord God: Come, spirit, from the
four winds, and blow upon these slain, and let them live again.

37:10. And I prophesied as he had commanded me: and the spirit came into
them, and they lived: and they stood up upon their feet, an exceeding
great army.

37:11. And he said to me: Son of man: All these bones are the house of
Israel: they say: Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost, and we
are cut off.

37:12. Therefore prophesy, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God:
Behold I will open your graves, and will bring you out of your
sepulchres, O my people: and will bring you into the land of Israel.

37:13. And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have opened
your sepulchres, and shall have brought you out of your graves, O my
people:

37:14. And shall have put my spirit in you, and you shall live, and I
shall make you rest upon your own land: and you shall know that I the
Lord have spoken, and done it, saith the Lord God:
