14 I will put My Ruach in you and you will live. I will place you in your own land. Then you will know that I, Adonai, have spoken and that I have done it.” It is a declaration of Adonai.
15 The word of Adonai came to me saying:
16 “You, son of man, take one stick and write on it, ‘For Judah’—for Bnei-Yisrael joined with him. Then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph’—the stick of Ephraim and all the house of Israel joined with him.
17 Join them one to another for yourself, as one stick, so they may become one in your hand.
18 “When the children of your people speak to you saying, ‘Won’t you tell us what you mean by these?’
19 say to them, thus says Adonai Elohim: ‘Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph—which is in the hand of Ephraim and the tribes of Israel joined with him—and I will put them together with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick. They will be one in My hand.’
20 The sticks that you write on will be in your hand before their eyes.
