1

The hand of Yahweh was on me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of Yahweh, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.

2

He caused me to pass by them all around: and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and behold, they were very dry.

3

He said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? I answered, Lord Yahweh, you know.

4

Again he said to me, Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, you dry bones, hear the word of Yahweh.

5

Thus says the Lord Yahweh to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.

6

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 Yahweh.

So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, an earthquake; and the bones came together, bone to its bone.
