Chapter 37 of Ezekiel—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ The 1hand of the LORD was upon me, and He 2brought me out [a]by the Spirit of the LORD and set me down in the middle of the 3valley; and it was full of bones.
  2. He caused me to pass among them round about, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley; and lo, they were very dry.
  3. He said to me, “Son of man, 4can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord [b]GOD, 5You know.”
  4. Again He said to me, “6Prophesy over these bones and say to them, ‘O dry bones, 7hear the word of the LORD.’
  5. Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones, ‘Behold, I will cause [c]8breath to enter you that you may come to life.
  6. I will put sinews on you, make flesh grow back on you, cover you with skin and put breath in you that you may come alive; and you will 9know that I am the LORD.’”
  7. ¶ So I prophesied 10as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a [d]noise, and behold, a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to its bone.
  8. And I looked, and behold, sinews were on them, and flesh grew and skin covered them; but there was no breath in them.
  9. Then He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “Come from the four winds, O breath, and 11breathe on these slain, that they 12come to life.”’”
  10. So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the 13breath came into them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, an 14exceedingly great army.
  11. ¶ Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the 15whole house of Israel; behold, they say, ‘Our 16bones are dried up and our hope has perished. We are [e]completely 17cut off.’
  12. Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I will open your graves and 18cause you to come up out of your graves, My people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel.
  13. Then you will know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves and caused you to come up out of your graves, My people.
  14. I will 19put My [f]Spirit within you and you will come to life, and I will place you on your own land. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken and done it,” declares the LORD.’”
  15. ¶ The word of the LORD came again to me saying,
  16. “And you, son of man, take for yourself 20one stick and write on it, ‘For 21Judah and for the sons of Israel, his companions’; then take another stick and write on it, ‘For 22Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and all the house of Israel, his companions.’
  17. Then 23join them for yourself one to another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.
  18. When the sons of your people speak to you saying, ‘Will you not declare to us 24what you mean by these?’
  19. say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will put them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand.”’
  20. The sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.
  21. Say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I will 25take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and I will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land;
  22. and I will make them 26one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and 27one king will be king for all of them; and they will no longer be two nations and no longer be divided into two kingdoms.
  23. They will 28no longer defile themselves with their idols, or with their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions; but 29I will deliver them from all their [g]dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. And they will be My people, and I will be their God.
  24. ¶ “My servant 30David will be king over them, and they will all have 31one shepherd; and they will walk in My ordinances and keep My statutes and observe them.
  25. They will live on the land that I gave to Jacob My servant, in which your fathers lived; and they will live on it, they, and their sons and their sons’ sons, forever; and 32David My servant will be their prince forever.
  26. I will make a 33covenant of peace with them; it will be an 34everlasting covenant with them. And I will [h]place them and 35multiply them, and will set My 36sanctuary in their midst forever.
  27. My 37dwelling place also will be with them; and 38I will be their God, and they will be My people.
  28. And the nations will know that I am the LORD 39who sanctifies Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forever.”’”

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
