16

“As for you, son of man, take one branch, and write on it,‘For Judah, and for the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another branch and write on it,‘For Joseph, the branch of Ephraim and all the house of Israel associated with him.’

17

Join them as one stick; they will be as one in your hand.

When your people say to you,‘Will you not tell us what these things mean?’

19

tell them,‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Look, I am about to take the branch of Joseph which is in the hand of Ephraim and the tribes of Israel associated with him, and I will place them on the stick of Judah, and make them into one stick– they will be one in my hand.’
