Ezekiel 37:1-10

The Vision of the Valley of Dry Bones and the Promise of Israel's Restoration

1 min read

1 The hand of the LORD was on me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in 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, see, they were very dry.
3 And he said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, you know.
4 Again he said to me, Prophesy on these bones, and say to them, O you dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
5 Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live:
6 And I will lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the LORD.
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.
8 And when I beheld, see, the sinews and the flesh came up on them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
9 Then said he to me, Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus says the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up on their feet, an exceeding great army. ¶
