The hand of Yahweh I being upon me, he carried me forth in the spirit of Yahweh, and set me down in the midst of a plain, - and the same was full of bones;

and he caused me to pass near them. round about on every side, - and lo! they were very many on the face of the plain, and lo! they were very dry.

Then said he unto me, Son of man. Can these bones I live. And I said, My Lord, Yahweh, thou knowest!

Then said he unto me, Prophesy, over these bones, - and thou shalt say unto them, Ye bones so dry! hear ye the word of Yahweh!

Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Unto these bones, - Lo! I am about to bring into you - spirit, and ye shall live;

Yea I will lay upon you - sinews, And bring up over you flesh. And cover over you - skin, And put in you - spirit And ye stall live, Then shall ye know that I, am Yahweh.

And when I prophesied as I was commanded, then was there a noise, as I prophesied and lo! a rattling, and the bones came near, each bone unto its own bone.

And when I looked, then lo! upon them were sinews, and flesh had come up, and there had spread over them skin above, but spirit, was there none within them.

Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the spirit, Prophesy, Son of man. and thou shalt say unto the spirit. Thus saith My Lord Yahweh- From the four winds, come thou, O spirit, And breathe into these slain That they may live.

And when I prophesied as he commanded me, then came into them the spirit, and they lived and stood upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

Then said he unto me, Son of man. These bones, are all the house of Israel, - Lo! they are saying. Dried are our bones, and lost is our hope We are quite cut off!

Therefore prophesy and thou shalt say unto them Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Lo I myself am going to open your graves And will cause you to come up out of your graves. O my people, - And will bring you upon the so of Israel.

So shall ye know that I, am Yahweh, - When I open your graves. And cause you to come up out of your graves O my people,

And I will put my spirit within you and ye shall live, And I will settle you upon your own soil, So shall ye know that I, Yahweh have spoken and have performed. Declareth Yahweh.
