Ezekiel 37 — Context

4

Then he said to me,“Prophesy over these bones, and tell them:‘Dry bones, listen to the LORD’s message.

5

This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: Look, I am about to infuse breath into you and you will live.

6

I will put tendons on you and muscles over you and will cover you with skin; I will put breath in you and you will live. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”

7

So I prophesied as I was commanded. There was a sound when I prophesied– I heard a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to bone.

8

As I watched, I saw tendons on them, then muscles appeared, and skin covered over them from above, but there was no breath in them.

9

He said to me,“Prophesy to the breath,– prophesy, son of man– and say to the breath:‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these corpses so that they may live.’”

10

So I prophesied as I was commanded, and the breath came into them; they lived and stood on their feet, an extremely great army.
