Context: Ezekiel 37
13And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
14And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.
15The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
16Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
17And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.

Commentary
This powerful vision in Ezekiel 37 is a message of hope to the people of Israel who had lost their land, their temple, and their identity. God promises to restore them and give them new life. The vision of the valley of dry bones teaches us that God is able to bring life and restoration even to the most desolate and hopeless situations. It also reminds us of the power of God's word, which can bring about life and transformation. This chapter speaks to us today, reassuring us that God is a God of restoration and new beginnings, and that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope if we put our trust in Him.
