7So I gave the word as I was ordered: and at my words there was a shaking of the earth, and the bones came together, bone to bone.
8And looking I saw that there were muscles on them and flesh came up, and they were covered with skin: but there was no breath in them.
9And he said to me, Be a prophet to the wind, be a prophet, son of man, and say to the wind, The Lord has said: Come from the four winds, O wind, breathing on these dead so that they may come to life.
10And I gave the word at his orders, and breath came into them, and they came to life and got up on their feet, a very great army.
11Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are all the children of Israel: and see, they are saying, Our bones have become dry our hope is gone, we are cut off completely.
12For this cause be a prophet to them, and say, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am opening the resting-places of your dead, and I will make you come up out of your resting-places, O my people; and I will take you into the land of Israel.
13And you will be certain that I am the Lord by my opening the resting-places of your dead and making you come up out of your resting-places, O my people.
