Ezekiel 37:16-24

¹⁶ And you, son of man, take one stick, writing on it, For Judah and for the children of Israel who are in his company: then take another stick, writing on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel who are in his company: ¹⁷ Then, joining them one to another, make them one stick, so that they may be one in your hand. ¹⁸ And when the children of your people say to you, Will you not make clear to us what these things have to do with us? ¹⁹ Then say to them, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am taking the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel who are in his company; and I will put it on the stick of Judah and make them one stick, and they will be one in my hand. ²⁰ And the sticks with your writing on them will be in your hand before their eyes. ²¹ And say to them, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am taking the children of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and will get them together on every side, and take them into their land: ²² And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king will be king over them all: and they will no longer be two nations, and will no longer be parted into two kingdoms: ²³ And they will no longer make themselves unclean with their images or with their hated things or with any of their sins: but I will give them salvation from all their turning away in which they have done evil, and will make them clean; and they will be to me a people, and I will be to them a God. ²⁴ And my servant David will be king over them; and they will all have one keeper: and they will be guided by my orders and will keep my rules and do them.
