 37:3 And he saidºº untoº me, Sonº of man,º can theseº bonesº live?ºº And I answered,ºº O Lordº GOD,º thouº knowest.ºº

 37:8 And when I beheld,ºº lo,º the sinewsº and the fleshº came upºº uponº them, and the skinº coveredººº them above:º but [there was] noº breathº in them.

 37:9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

 37:9 Then saidºº he untoº me, Prophesyºº untoº the wind,º prophesy,ºº sonº of man,º and sayºº toº the wind,º Thusº saithºº the Lordº GOD;º Comeºº from the fourºº winds,º O breath,º and breatheºº upon theseº slain,ºº that they may live.ºº
