Ezekiel 37:2

37:2 He made me walk all around among them. ¹  I realized ²  there were a great many bones in the valley and they were very dry.

Ezekiel 37:4

37:4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and tell them: ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.

¹ tn Heb “and he made me pass over them, around, around.”

² tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and is here translated as “I realized” because it results from Ezekiel’s recognition of the situation around him. In Hebrew, the exclamation is repeated in the following sentence.
