2 He led me back and forth among them. I saw a huge number of bones in the valley. The bones were very dry.
3 The Lord asked me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" I said, "Lord and King, you are the only one who knows."
4 Then he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones. Tell them, 'Dry bones, listen to the Lord's message.
5 The Lord and King speaks to you. He says, "I will put breath in you. Then you will come to life again.
6 I will attach tendons to you. I will put flesh on you. I will cover you with skin. So I will put breath in you. And you will come to life again. Then you will know that I am the Lord." ' "
7 So I prophesied just as the Lord commanded me to. As I was prophesying, I heard a noise. It was a rattling sound. The bones came together. One bone connected itself to another.
8 I saw tendons and flesh appear on them. Skin covered them. But there was no breath in them.
