Literal translation of the Hebrew text:
Yechizkel 37
1 The hand of YHVH was upon me and I went forth in the Spirit of
YHVH and I rested in the midst of the valley(breakthrough, divide)
and it was full of bones
2 and I passed round about them and here are a great many upon the
(sur)face of the valley and here very dry
3 and He said unto me, "son of man, these bones will be revived
(resurrected)" and my Lord YHVH said, "did you know?"
4 and He said to me, prophesy over these bones and say to them,
"these dry bones, hear the Word of YHVH"
5 thus says my Lord YHVH, "these bones here I AM brings you their
spirit and their life"
6 and I will give to you clothes and I will put flesh on you and clothe
you with skin and I give unto you a spirit and they lived and they
knew that I AM YHVH
7 and I prophesied as I was commanded and there was a voice like a
prophet's and there was an uproar and brought near bones, bone to
bone
8 and I saw and there upon them clothes and flesh came upon them
and skin covered them from above and there is no spirit in them
9 and He said to me, prophesy by the Spirit, prophesy son of man
and speak unto the Spirit,"thus says my Lord YHVH, from four
winds(or spirits) come the Spirit and breathe on these dead and these
will live
10 and I prophesied when I was commanded and the Spirit shall
come upon them and they will live and stand on their feet a very, very
great army
11 and He said to me, "son of man the bones there, all are from the
house of Israel, what are they saying?" "our bones are dried up and
our hope lost, cut off from us"
12 to them prophesy and say to them, "thus says my Lord YHVH
here I AM, I will enter your graves and I will bring you up out of
them with Me and I brought them to the earth of Israel
13 and they will know that I AM YHVH, I entered your graves and
brought you up from your graves with Me
14 and I have put My Spirit in them and they shall live and I have set
you upon your earth and they shall know that I AM YHVH, I have
spoken and I will do it says YHVH
15 and the Word of YHVH came unto me saying,
16 "and you , son of man, take to you one tree and write on it, to
Yehudah and to the children of Israel their friend and take one tree
and write on it to Yosef the tree of Ephrayim and all the house of
Israel their friend"
17 and bring them one to(by) one to you to one tree and hold the
ones in your hand
18 and like when they say to you, "my son, your people say to you,
after all tell us, what are these for you?"
19 a word to them, "thus says my Lord YHVH, behold, I AM to take
the tree of Yosef which is in the hand of Ephrayim and the tribes of
Israel their friend and I gave them unto the tree of Yehudah and made
them into one tree and they were one in my hand
20 and there were the trees which you wrote about in your hand
before their eyes(lit.to their eyes)
21 and speak to them, "thus says my Lord YHVH, here I AM took
the children of Israel from among the tribes(nations, gentiles)who
went there and I gathered them round about and I brought them to
their own earth(ground, dirt)
22 and I made of them one tribe(nation, gentile=latin for family) in
the earth in the mountains of Israel and one king for all, for the king
will no more have those two tribes(nations) and will no longer be
divided into two kingdoms any more
23 and it will no longer be defiled by their totems(carved poles, idols)
and their filthy abominations and all rebellion(sin) and I will set them
free(save them) from all their settlements(dwelling places) which they
have sinned against and I shall cleanse them and they will become a
people and I AM will be to them their God
24 and My servant David shall be their king and one shepherd shall
be for all and in My judgements shall they walk and my statutes shall
they keep and do them
25 and they shall dwell upon the earth which I gave unto my servant
Jacov(Genesis 28:13-14) and where your fathers dwelt and they shall
dwell and their children and their children's children until eternity and
David My servant will be their prince forever
26 and I will cut a covenant with them, a covenant of peace an eternal
covenant, there will be them and I will give and multiply them and I
will put My sanctuary within them forever
27 and I shall dwell in them and will be to them their God and what
will I have for the people?
28 and the tribes(nations) shall know I AM YHVH sanctify Israel,
being My sanctuary within them forever
