And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

And you, son of man, take one stick, writing on it, For Judah and for the children of Israel who are in his company: then take another stick, writing on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel who are in his company:

Then, joining them one to another, make them one stick, so that they may be one in your hand.

And when the children of your people say to you, Will you not make clear to us what these things have to do with us?

Then say to them, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am taking the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel who are in his company; and I will put it on the stick of Judah and make them one stick, and they will be one in my hand.
