Ezekiel 37:6 (b) In this allegory the Lord is describing what we have seen with our own eyes in the restoration of Israel as a political unit.

  • the bones represent the people of Israel.
  • the sinews represent the constitution and laws which have been formed to hold the people together, and enable them to work together in the various departments of their national life.
  • the flesh represents the living conditions of the people, their customs, ways and programs.
  • the skin is that national spirit which holds all of the above together and gives it the form and shape of a nation among the nations.
