The Hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry. And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” So I answered, “O Lord God, You know.”
EZEKIEL 37:1-3
As the last Chapter graphically spoke of Israel’s coming Restoration, Chapter 37 graphically portrays the Spiritual manner of that Restoration.
The repetition of “behold” fastens the attention upon the two facts— that the bones were very many and very dry. “Very dry,” speaks of a total absence of spirituality.
And finally, Ezekiel’s answer to the question of the Lord, “O Lord GOD, You know,” signifies that within the realm of human endeavor the task was impossible!
