Ezekiel 37:6 - Exposition

The process of revivification is now divided into two stages—a preliminary stage which should effect the reconstruction of the external skeleton, by bringing together its different parts and clothing them with sinews, flesh, and skin (comp. Job 10:11 ); and a finishing stage, which should consist in animating, or "putting breath in" the reconstructed skeleton; corresponding so the two stages into which the process of man's original creation was divided ( Genesis 2:7 ). The result would be that the resurrected and reanimated bones, like newly made man, would know the Lord.
