CLV(i)
1 There has been upon me a hand of Yahweh, and He takes me forth in the Spirit of Yahweh, and does place me in the midst of the valley, and it is full of bones,
2 and He causes me to pass over by them, all round about, and lo, very many [are] on the face of the valley, and lo, very dry."
3 And He said unto me, `Son of man, do these bones live?' And I say, `O Lord Yahweh, You--You have known.'"
4 And He said unto me, `Prophesy concerning these bones, and you have said unto them:O dry bones, hear a word of Yahweh:"
5 Thus said the Lord Yahweh to these bones:Lo, I am bringing into you a spirit, and you have lived,
6 and I have given on you sinews, and cause flesh to come up upon you, and covered you over with skin, and given in you a spirit, and you have lived, and you have known that I [am] Yahweh.'"
7 And I have prophesied as I have been commanded, and there is a noise, as I am prophesying, and lo, a rushing, and draw near do the bones, bone unto its bone."
8 And I beheld, and lo, on them [are] sinews, and flesh has come up, and cover them does skin over above--and spirit there is none in them."
9 And He said unto me:`Prophesy unto the Spirit, prophesy, son of man, and you have said unto the Spirit:Thus said the Lord Yahweh:From the four winds come in, O Spirit, and breathe on these slain, and they do live.'"
10 And I have prophesied as He commanded me, and the Spirit comes into them, and they live, and stand on their feet--a very very great force."
11 And He said unto me, `Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; lo, they are saying:Dried up have our bones, And perished has our hope, We have been cut off by ourselves."
12 Therefore, prophesy, and you have said unto them, thus said the Lord Yahweh:Lo, I am opening your graves, And have brought you up out of your graves, O My people, And brought you in unto the land of Israel."
13 And you have known that I [am] Yahweh, In My opening your graves, And in My bringing you up out of your graves, O My people."
14 And I have given My Spirit in you, and you have lived, And I have caused you to rest on your land, And you have known that I Yahweh, I have spoken, and I have done [it], An affirmation of Yahweh.'"
