1The hand of the Lord was upon me, and brought me forth in the spirit of the Lord: and set me down in the midst of a plain that was full of bones.

2And he led me about through them on every side: now they were very many upon the face of the plain, and they were exceeding dry.

3And he said to me: Son of Man, do you think these bones shall live? And I answered: OH Lord God, you know.

4And he said to me: Prophesy concerning these bones; and say to them: You dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.

5Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Look, I will send spirit into you, and you shall live.

6And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to grow over you, and will cover you with skin: and I will give you spirit and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the Lord.

7And I prophesied as he had commanded me: and as I prophesied there was a noise, and look a commotion: and the bones came together, each one to its joint.

8And I saw, and look the sinews, and the flesh came up upon them: and the skin was stretched out over them, but there was no spirit in them.

9And he said to me: Prophesy to the spirit, prophesy, OH Son of Man, and say to the spirit: Thus says the Lord God: Come, spirit, from the four winds, and blow upon these killed, and let them live again.

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

11And he said to me: Son of Man: All these bones are the people of Israel$1 they say: Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost, and we are cut off.

12Therefore prophesy, and say to them: Thus says the Lord God: Look I will open your graves, and will bring you out of your tombs, OH my people: and will bring you into the land of Israel.

13And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have opened your tombs, and shall have brought you out of your graves, OH my people:

14And shall have put my spirit in you, and you shall live, and I shall make you rest upon your own land: and you shall know that I the Lord have said, and done it, says the Lord God:

2Let them say so that have been rescued by the Lord, whom he has rescued from the hand of the enemy: and gathered out of the countries.

3From the rising and the setting of the sun, from the north and from the sea.

4They wandered in a wilderness, in a place without water: they found not the way of a city for their habitation.

5They were hungry and thirsty: their soul fainted in them.

6And they cried to the Lord in their trouble: and he rescued them out of their distresses.

7And he led them into the right way: that they might go to a city of habitation.

8Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the people.

9For he has satisfied the empty soul, and has satisfied the hungry soul with good things.

34But the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together:

35And one of them, a doctor of the law, asking him, tempting him:

36Master, which is the greatest command in the law?

37Jesus said to him: You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, and with your whole soul, and with your whole mind.

38This is the greatest and the first command.

39And the second is like to this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

40On these two commands dependeth the whole law and the prophets.
