13. You shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and make you come up out of them, my people!
14. I will put my spirit in you that you may come to life, and I will settle you in your land. Then you shall know that I am the Lord. I have spoken; I will do it—oracle of the Lord.
15. Thus the word of the Lord came to me:
16. As for you, son of man, take one stick and write on it, “Judah and those Israelites associated with it.” Then take another stick and write on it: “Joseph, Ephraim’s stick, and the whole house of Israel associated with it.”
17. Join the two sticks together so they become one stick in your hand.
