Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 37:11-12
Ezekiel 37:11-12. These bones are the whole house of Israel These bones represent the forlorn and desperate condition to which the whole nation of Israel is reduced; they say, Our bones are dried, &c. Our affairs are in the most desperate condition; there is not so much as any hope left of their being retrieved. We are cut off for our parts We are separated and cut off from one another, like a limb that is cut off from the body. Therefore prophesy, &c. Inform these poor,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 37:1-28
The nation revived and reunited (37:1-28)With Jerusalem destroyed and the people in exile, Israel’s national life had come to an end. To Ezekiel it appeared as if a great army had been slaughtered in battle and the bodies of the dead left to rot in the sun. All that was left was a lot of dry bones. Israel’s condition appeared to be beyond hope (37:1-3).God now promises Ezekiel that he will do the impossible. He will bring Israel back to life - as if he brings the scattered bones together, puts... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Ezekiel 37:11
"Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off. Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have opened your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves, O my people. And... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 37:10-11
Ezekiel 37:10-11. An exceeding great army— This vision itself, in the first place, affords a very lively image of the resurrection; next, they who are raised to life again, are said to be an exceeding great army; the Hebrew is still more emphatical, and even labours for expression: מאד מאד meod meod, A very very great army; like that of all nations and kindreds and people, which no man could number, Revelation 7:9. It is yet farther observable, that these dry bones, so miraculously raised to... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 37:11
11. Our bones are dried— ( :-), explained by "our hope is lost" ( :-); our national state is as hopeless of resuscitation, as marrowless bones are of reanimation. cut off for our parts—that is, so far as we are concerned. There is nothing in us to give hope, like a withered branch "cut off" from a tree, or a limb from the body. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 37:1-14
An illustration of Israel’s restoration 37:1-14This well-known apocalyptic vision of the valley of dry bones pictures the manner in which Yahweh would restore His people. [Note: For a review of apolcalyptic as a literary genre, of which this passage is an example, see the Introduction section of these notes, or Alexander, "Ezekiel," p. 924.] This may be the best-known section of the Book of Ezekiel."Few other passages have suffered more from the extremes of interpreters who see either too much... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 37:11-13
The Lord explained to Ezekiel that the bones represented the whole house of Israel (cf. Ezekiel 36:10). The Israelites were saying that they were like dry bones: they had been dead for a very long time spiritually as well as physically. They had no hope of life in the future; they had lost all hope of becoming a nation again or of seeing God’s promises to them fulfilled literally. The Lord had cut them off completely; the bones were separated from each other, and the Israelites were scattered... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 37:11-14
The Divine Restorer. The interpretation of the vision of the valley of dry bones was given by the prophet himself. It was intended that the Israelites, when restored to their own land and to national unity and vigor, should discern in this restoration the hand of Divine Providence. A most unlikely event was about to happen, and Ezekiel desired that those in whose favor the great interposition was about to be wrought should be mindful, both of the condition of hopelessness into which they... read more
