The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 37:1-14

The Vision of the Resurrection v. 1. The hand of the Lord was upon me and carried me out in the Spirit of the Lord, in a state of ecstasy in which the prophet was inwardly transported from the things around him, and set me down in the midst of the valley, which was full of bones, one representing a huge grave, in which, however, the corpses had not been covered, v. 2. and caused me to pass by them round about, so that Ezekiel received a very close view of them, observed them most carefully; ... read more

3. The Vision of the Resurrection and Re-quickening of the Dead Bones, and the Symbolical Action with the One Stick out of the Two Sticks, along with the Interpretation (Ch. 37)1The hand of Jehovah was upon me, and [as] Jehovah took me out in the Spirit and made me rest [brought me, set me down] in the midst of the 2valley, and it was full of bones. And He led me over by them round about, and behold, [there were] very many on the surface of the valley, and behold, 3[they were] very dry. And He... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Ezekiel 37:1-14

Ezekiel THE DRY BONES AND THE SPIRIT OF LIFE Eze_37:1 - Eze_37:14 . This great vision apparently took its form from a despairing saying, which had become a proverb among the exiles, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost: we are clean cut off’ Eze_37:11. Ezekiel lays hold of the metaphor, which had been taken to express the hopeless destruction of Israel’s national existence, and even from it wrings a message of hope. Faith has the prerogative of seeing possibilities of life in what... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Ezekiel 37:1-14

the Resurrection of a Dead Nation Ezekiel 37:1-14 A marvelous chapter-the vision is so graphic. Time does not rob it of its significance. Indeed every sign points to speedy fulfillment. The Jewish nation has long resembled those dry and bleaching bones; and the state of sinners generally may truly be described in the same terms. The condition of many souls and neighborhoods is comparable to the harrowing scenes of a recent battlefield. We may preach so as to effect an outward revolution, but... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 37:1-28

The wonderful vision of the valley filled with bones was now granted to the prophet. As he gazed on them, he was asked, "Son of man, can these bones live?" His utter abandonment to God, even in the matter of his conception, was evident in his reply, "O Lord God, Thou knowest." Over these bones he was then told to prophesy, commanding the people to hear the word of the Lord, proclaiming to them the promise that breath should enter into them and flesh be restored to them. He obeyed, and beheld... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 37:1-14

The Vision of The Valley Of Dry Bones (Ezekiel 37:1-14 ). This vision is not directly an illustration or promise of physical resurrection. Ezekiel nowhere gives any indication of expecting a resurrection of the dead. It is a pictorial representation of the coming spiritual revival of Israel, given to spur on the doubting, fearful and disillusioned people to whom Ezekiel was ministering.. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 37:11-14

‘Then he said to 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 cut off for us (or ‘our thread of life has been cut off’).’ Therefore prophesy and say to them, thus says the Lord Yahweh, ‘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 you will know that I am Yahweh when I have opened your graves, and caused you to come up... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 37:1-14

Ezekiel 37:1-2 Chronicles : . The Resurrection of the People.— Those fair ideals, however, cannot abolish the melancholy reality. The truth is that the exiled people are as good as dead and in their graves ( Ezekiel 37:11 f.). Over their despondent words the imagination of Ezekiel broods till once, in an ecstatic mood ( Ezekiel 37:1), he seemed to see a valley filled with bones, multitudinous, dry, and loosely scattered— for they have not even the coherence of skeletons— so that there seemed... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 37:11

The whole house; the hieroglyphic or emblem of the house of Israel. They say; think, discourse, and conclude. Our bones are dried; their state as hopeless, as far from recovery, as dried bones scattered abroad, and, undistinguished, heaped up, are from life. Our hope is lost; the hope, not that false prophets gave us, but that the true prophets proposed to us, is utterly lost, and we are out of all expectation of a recovery. read more

THE VISION OF THE DRY BONES REVIVIFIED A SYMBOL OF THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF ISRAEL. (Chap. 37.)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Ezekiel 37:1. “The hand of the Lord was upon me.” “The abrupt commencement without and, points out that the fact here related is extraordinary and out of connection with the usual prophetic activity.
