Gill's Notes on the Bible
Again he said unto me, prophesy upon these bones,.... Or, "over these bones" t; or, "concerning these bones" u; foretell that they shall live; tell others of it, and them also:
and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord; the word of prophecy concerning you, as the Jews did in Babylon: so unconverted sinners may be preached unto, and their lost and miserable estate in which they are, like dry bones, may be set before them: they may be called upon to attend the external ministry of the word; and they are capable of hearing it with their bodily ears; though it is not profitable to them, for want of faith, yet faith comes hereby; and therefore it is right to attend upon the means, and hear the word.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Prophesy - Not in the sense of predicting what was to come to pass, but simply in that of speaking under the inspiration of God. In Ezekiel 37:5, not “I will cause,” but I cause or am causing.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 37:4. Prophesy upon these bones —; Declare to your miserable countrymen the gracious designs of the Lord; show them that their state, however deplorable, is not hopeless.
