Ezekiel 37:7-10

37:7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. There was a sound when I prophesied – I heard ¹  a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to bone. 37:8 As I watched, I saw ²  tendons on them, then muscles appeared, ³  and skin covered over them from above, but there was no breath ⁴  in them.

37:9 He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, ⁵  – prophesy, son of man – and say to the breath: ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these corpses so that they may live.’” 37:10 So I prophesied as I was commanded, and the breath came into them; they lived and stood on their feet, an extremely great army.
