1The hand of the Lord had been on me, and he took me out in the spirit of the Lord and put me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones;
2And he made me go past them round about: and I saw that there was a very great number of them on the face of the wide valley, and they were very dry.
3And he said to me, Son of man, is it possible for these bones to come to life? And I made answer, and said, It is for you to say, O Lord.
4And again he said to me, Be a prophet to these bones, and say to them, O you dry bones, give ear to the word of the Lord.
5This is what the Lord has said to these bones: See, I will make breath come into you so that you may come to life;
6And I will put muscles on you and make flesh come on you, and put skin over you, and breath into you, so that you may have life; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
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.
