Contextual Overview
1 The hand of the Lord was upon me. He brought me out by His Spirit and set me down in the center of the valley. It was full of bones. 2 He led me around the valley. I saw there were very many bones, and they were very dry. 3 He said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" I answered, "O Lord God, only You know that." 4 He said to me, "Speak in My name over these bones. Say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the Word of the Lord.' 5 This is what the Lord God says to these bones: ‘I will make breath come into you, and you will come to life. 6 I will join you together, make flesh grow back on you, cover you with skin, and put breath in you to make you come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.'" 7 So I spoke as I was told. And as I spoke, there was a noise, the sound of bones hitting against each other. The bones came together, bone to bone. 8 I looked and saw that parts had grown to hold them together. Flesh had grown, and they were covered with skin. But there was no breath in them. 9 Then He said to me, "Speak to the breath in My name, son of man. Tell the breath, ‘The Lord God says, "Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these dead bodies to make them come to life."'" 10 So I spoke as I had been told. The breath came into them, and they came to life and stood on their feet. They were a large army.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them,.... And they began to look like men, in the shape of men, and were a body of them, as the Jews did when gathered together:
and the skin covered them above; and so looked comely and beautiful, as in the proper form of men; as did the Jews enriched and protected by Cyrus: and this may be an image of such persons so far wrought upon under the word as to look like Christians; to have the form of godliness, and appear outwardly righteous before men, submitting to ordinances, and performing the duties of religion; and yet no principle of spiritual life in them; but, like Adam's body, of the earth, earthly, and breathless, before the breath of life was breathed into it; so here, but there was no breath in them; no spirit in the Jews to return to their land, though they had liberty, till the Lord stirred up their spirits, Ezra 1:5, all this, in a spiritual sense, shows how far persons may go under temporary convictions by the word, and yet not be living Christians.
