1 The hand of the Lord was set upon me, and he led me away in the Spirit of the Lord, and he released me in the midst of a plain which was full of bones.
2 And he led me around, through them, on every side. Now they were very many upon the face of the plain, and they were exceedingly dry.
3 And he said to me, "Son of man, do you think that these bones will live?" And I said, "O Lord God, you know."
4 And he said to me, "Prophesy about these bones. And you shall say to them: Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord!
5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will send spirit into you, and you shall live.
