* And the word of the Lord came unto me , saying , * But thou , son of man , take unto thyself one stick of wood , and write upon it , "For Judah , and for the children of Israel his companions ;" then take another stick , and write upon it , "For Joseph ,––the stick of Ephraim , and for all the house of Israel his companions :" * And join them one to the other unto thee as one stick ; and they shall become one in thy hand . * And if the children of thy people should say unto thee , saying , Wilt thou not tell us what thou meanest by these ? * speak unto them , Thus hath said the Lord Eternal , Behold , I will take the stick of Joseph ,––which is in the hand of Ephraim ,––and the tribes of Israel his companions , and will lay them upon him , even the stick of Judah , and make them into one stick , and they shall be one in my hand . * And the sticks whereon thou shalt have written shall be in thy hand before their eyes . * And speak unto them , Thus hath said the Lord Eternal , Behold , I will take the children of Israel from among the nations , whither they are gone , and I will gather them from every side , and bring them unto their own land ; * And I will make them into one nation in the land , on the mountains of Israel ; and one king shall be to them all for king ; and they shall not be any more two nations , nor shall they at any time be divided into two kingdoms any more : * Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols , and with their detestable things , and with all their transgressions ; but I will save them out of all their dwelling –places , wherein they have sinned , and I will cleanse them , and they shall be unto me for a people , and I will be to them for a God . * And my servant David shall be king over them ; and one shepherd shall be for them all : and in my ordinances shall they walk , and my statutes shall they observe , and do them . * And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto my servant , unto Jacob , wherein your fathers have dwelt ; and they shall dwell therein , they , and their children , and their children ’s children for ever : and David my servant shall be prince unto them for ever . * And I will make with them a covenant of peace , an everlasting covenant shall it be with them : and I will multiply them , and I will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore . * My dwelling also shall be with them , and I will be unto them for a God ; and they shall be unto me as a people . * And the nations shall know that I am the Lord who sanctify Israel , when my sanctuary will be in the midst of them for evermore .
