Brenton(i)
16 Son of man, take for thyself a rod, and write upon it, Juda, and the children of Israel his adherents; and thou shalt take for thyself another rod, and thou shalt inscribe it for Joseph, the rod of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel that belong to him.
17 And thou shalt joint them together for thyself, so as that they should bind themselves into one stick; and they shall be in thine hand.
18 And it shall come to pass, when the children of thy people shall say to thee, Wilt thou not tell us what thou meanest by these things?
19 Then shalt thou say to them, Thus saith the Lord; behold, I will take the tribe of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel that belong to him, and I will add them to the tribe of Juda, and they shall become one rod in the hand of Juda.
20 And the rods on which thou didst write shall be in thine hand in their presence.
