5 Thus says Adonai Elohim to these bones: “Behold, I will cause Ruach to enter you, so you will live.
6 I will attach tendons to you, bring flesh on you and cover you with skin. Then I will put breath in you. You will live. You will know that I am Adonai.”
7 So I prophesied just as I was commanded. As I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, an earthquake. Then the bones came together, bone to its bone.
8 I saw, and behold, there were tendons on them, flesh came up and skin covered them above, but there was no breath in them.
9 Then He said to me, “Prophesy to the Ruach. Prophesy, son of man, and say to the Ruach, thus says Adonai Elohim: ‘Come from the four winds, Ruach! Breathe upon these slain, that they may live.”
10 So I prophesied just as He commanded me. The Ruach came into them and they lived. They stood up on their feet, a vast army.
11 Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say: ‘Our bones are dried up; our hope is lost; we are cut off—by ourselves.’
