The Valley of Dry Bones
Ezekiel 37
In a vision the Spirit sets Ezekiel in a valley of dry bones, which come together, are covered with flesh and skin, and are given breath and life as a sign of the whole house of Israel's future restoration. Ezekiel is then told to join two sticks into one, symbolizing the reunion of Israel and Judah under one shepherd and one everlasting covenant of peace.
