    1THE hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,

    2And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

    3And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.

    4Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.

    5Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

    6And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

    7So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

    8And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

    9Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

    10So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

    11¶ Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.

    12Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.

    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.

12:18¶ Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

12:19Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man’s brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

12:20Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.

12:21And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.

12:22And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.

12:23In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
