1. The hand of the Lord was set upon me, and he led me away in the Spirit of the Lord, and he released me in the midst of a plain which was full of bones.
2. And he led me around, through them, on every side. Now they were very many upon the face of the plain, and they were exceedingly dry.
3. And he said to me, "Son of man, do you think that these bones will live?" And I said, "O Lord God, you know."
4. And he said to me, "Prophesy about these bones. And you shall say to them: Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord!
5. Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will send spirit into you, and you shall live.
