1
The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.
2
Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry.
3
And He said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" So I answered, "O Lord God, You know."
4
Again He said to me, "Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, 'O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!
5
Thus says the Lord God to these bones: "Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.
6
I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord." ' "
7
So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone.
