Verses 5-6

The Lord told the bones that He would cause breath (Heb. ruah, wind, spirit, Spirit) to enter them and they would come back to life (cf. Hosea 6:2). The various occurrences of the Hebrew word ruah in this pericope sometimes mean breath (Ezekiel 37:5-6; Ezekiel 37:8-10) or wind (Ezekiel 37:9) or spirit or Spirit (Ezekiel 37:1; Ezekiel 37:14). Context determines meaning. [Note: For a similar use of the equivalent Greek word pneuma (wind or Spirit), see John 3:8.] He would also put sinews on the bones, make flesh grow back on them, cover them with skin, and put breath in them. They would come back to life and know that He is Yahweh.
