Rotherham(i)
16 Thou, therefore, Son of man, Take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the sons of Israel his companions, Then take thou another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the house of Israel, his companions.
17 Then bring them near––the one to the other––for thee, into one stick,––And they shall become united in thy hand.
18 And, when the sons of thy people, speak unto thee, saying,––Wilt thou not tell us, what, these things, are, to thee?
19 speak unto them, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Lo! I myself, am going to take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions,––And I will place them upon it, even upon the stick of Judah, And will make of them one, stick, And they shall become one, in my hand.
20 And the sticks whereon thou shalt write shall remain in thy hand, before their eyes.
