Ezekiel 37
1 to be upon me hand: power LORD and to come out: send me in/on/with spirit LORD and to rest me in/on/with midst [the] valley and he/she/it full bone
One day Yahweh gave me another vision. In the vision I felt the power [MTY] of God on me, and by his Spirit he took me to the middle of a valley. It was full of bones [of people who had been killed].
2 and to pass me upon them around around and behold many much upon face: surface [the] valley and behold dry much
He led me to walk back and forth among those bones. I saw that there were very many bones there, bones that were very dry.
3 and to say to(wards) me son: child man to live [the] bone [the] these and to say Lord YHWH/God you(m. s.) to know
He asked me, “You human, [do you think that] these bones can become living [people again]?” I replied, “Yahweh my Lord, only you know [if that can happen].”
4 and to say to(wards) me to prophesy upon [the] bone [the] these and to say to(wards) them [the] bone [the] dry to hear: hear word LORD
Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones. Say to them, ‘You dry bones, listen to what Yahweh says.
5 thus to say Lord YHWH/God to/for bone [the] these behold I to come (in): come in/on/with you spirit: breath and to live
This is what Yahweh the Lord says to you bones: I will put my breath into each of you, and you will become alive again.
6 and to give: put upon you sinew and to ascend: rise upon you flesh and to cover upon you skin and to give: put in/on/with you spirit: breath and to live and to know for I LORD
I will fasten tendons to your bones, and cause your bones to be covered with flesh. I will cover the flesh with skin. Then I will breathe into you, and you will become alive. When that happens, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
7 and to prophesy like/as as which to command and to be voice: sound like/as to prophesy I and behold quaking and to present: come bone bone to(wards) bone his
So I spoke to the bones what Yahweh commanded me to speak. As I was speaking, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bones joining to each other.
8 and to see: see and behold upon them sinew and flesh to ascend: rise and to cover upon them skin from to/for above [to] and spirit: breath nothing in/on/with them
While I was looking, I saw tendons fastening to them and flesh covering them, and then skin covered the flesh, but they did not breathe.
9 and to say to(wards) me to prophesy to(wards) [the] spirit: breath to prophesy son: child man and to say to(wards) [the] spirit: breath thus to say Lord YHWH/God from four spirit: breath to come (in): come [the] spirit: breath and to breathe in/on/with to kill [the] these and to live
Then he said to me, “You human, prophesy to the wind. Say to the wind, ‘Wind [APO], Yahweh says to you, blow from all four directions. Breathe into these people who have been killed, in order that they can become alive again!’”
10 and to prophesy like/as as which to command me and to come (in): come in/on/with them [the] spirit: breath and to live and to stand: stand upon foot their strength: soldiers great: large much much
So I said what he commanded me to say, and then breath entered them. They became alive and stood up, like a huge army.
11 and to say to(wards) me son: child man [the] bone [the] these all house: household Israel they(masc.) behold to say to wither bone our and to perish hope our to cut to/for us
Then he said to me, “You human, these bones represent all the Israeli people [MTY]. The people say, ‘[It is as though] our bones are dried up; there are no more good things that we can (hope for/confidently expect to happen to us); our nation is destroyed/finished.’
12 to/for so to prophesy and to say to(wards) them thus to say Lord YHWH/God behold I to open [obj] grave your and to ascend: establish [obj] you from grave your people my and to come (in): bring [obj] you to(wards) land: soil Israel
So prophesy and say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: My people, [it will be as though] I will open your graves and cause your corpses to become alive again. I will bring you back to Israel.
13 and to know for I LORD in/on/with to open I [obj] grave your and in/on/with to ascend: establish I [obj] you from grave your people my
Then, what that happens, you my people will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
14 and to give: put spirit my in/on/with you and to live and to rest [obj] you upon land: soil your and to know for I LORD to speak: speak and to make: do utterance LORD
I will put my Spirit in you, and [it will be as though] you will become alive again, and I will enable you to live in your own land again. Then you will know that it is I, Yahweh, who said [that it would happen] and who has caused it to happen. That is what I, Yahweh, declare.’”
15 and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say
Yahweh gave me [another] message. He said,
16 and you(m. s.) son: child man to take: take to/for you tree: stick one and to write upon him to/for Judah and to/for son: descendant/people Israel (companion his *Q(K)*) and to take: take tree: stick one and to write upon him to/for Joseph tree: stick Ephraim and all house: household Israel (companion his *Q(K)*)
“You human, take a piece of wood and write on it, ‘This represents Judah and all the tribes of Judah.’ Then take another piece of wood and write on it, ‘This represents Israel and all the tribes of Israel.’
17 and to present: come [obj] them one to(wards) one to/for you to/for tree: stick one and to be to/for one in/on/with hand your
Then join them together to become [as though they were] one piece of wood in your hand.

tell them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: One of the pieces of wood in my hand represents Israel and all the tribes of Israel. I am joining it to the piece of wood that represents Judah, to form one piece of wood in his hand.’
20 and to be [the] tree: stick which to write upon them in/on/with hand your to/for eye their
Then, [you human], hold up the pieces of wood that you have written on, in order that the people can see them.
21 and to speak: speak to(wards) them thus to say Lord YHWH/God behold I to take: take [obj] son: descendant/people Israel from between: among [the] nation which to go: went there and to gather [obj] them from around and to come (in): bring [obj] them to(wards) land: soil their
Say to the people, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: I will take you Israeli people out of the countries to which you have been forced to go. I will gather you from all those nations and bring you back to your own land.
22 and to make [obj] them to/for nation one in/on/with land: country/planet in/on/with mountain: mount Israel and king one to be to/for all their to/for king and not (to be *Q(K)*) still to/for two nation and not to divide still to/for two kingdom still
And I will cause you to again be one nation in that land, on the mountains in Israel. And there will be one king to rule over all of you. Never again will you be two nations or divided into two kingdoms.
23 and not to defile still in/on/with idol their and in/on/with abomination their and in/on/with all transgression their and to save [obj] them from all seat their which to sin in/on/with them and be pure [obj] them and to be to/for me to/for people and I to be to/for them to/for God
No longer will you (defile yourselves/make yourselves unacceptable to me) by [worshiping] idols and disgusting statues [of your gods], because I will enable you to quit your sinful behavior and to stop rejecting me. You will be my people, and I will be your God.
24 and servant/slave my David king upon them and to pasture one to be to/for all their and in/on/with justice: judgement my to go: walk and statute my to keep: careful and to make: do [obj] them
