Eze 37:1-14, Rev 11:11, 20:4-6 | ESV | STEP | The hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the valley ; it was full of bones .

1 ^aThe hand of the Lord was upon me, and ^bhe brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the valley; ^{▼▼Or plain; also verse 2} it was full of bones. 2 And he led me around among them, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and behold, they were very dry. 3 And he said to me, ^d“Son of man, ^ecan these bones live?” And ^fI answered, “O Lord God, you know.” 4 Then he said to me, ^g“Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, ^hO dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will cause ⁱbreath ^{▼▼Or spirit; also verses 6, 9, 10} to enter you, and you shall live. 6 ^kAnd I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and ^lcover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, ^mand you shall know that I am the Lord.”

7 So I prophesied ⁿas I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a sound, and behold, ^oa rattling, ^{▼▼Or an earthquake (compare 3:12, 13)} and the bones came together, bone to its bone. 8 And I looked, and behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them. But ^qthere was no breath in them. 9 Then he said to me, ^r“Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, ^sson of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord God: Come from ^tthe four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” 10 So I prophesied ^uas he commanded me, and ^vthe breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.

11 Then he said to me, ^w“Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and ^xour hope is lost; ^ywe are indeed cut off.’ 12 Therefore ^zprophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, ^aaI will open your graves and raise you from your graves, O my people. And ^abI will bring you into the land of Israel. 13 And ^acyou shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and raise you from your graves, O my people. 14 And ^adI will put my Spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I am the Lord; ^aeI have spoken, and I will do it, declares the Lord.”

Revelation of John 11:11

11 But after the three and a half days ^afa breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.

Revelation of John 20:4-6

4 Then I saw ^agthrones, and ^ahseated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw ^aithe souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those ^ajwho had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. ^akThey came to life and ^alreigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. 6 ^amBlessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such ^anthe second death has no power, but they will be ^aopriests of God and of Christ, and they ^apwill reign with him for a thousand years.
