*
And the word of the Lord came to me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
take for thyself a rod ,
and write upon it ,
Juda ,
and the children of Israel his adherents ;
and thou shalt take for thyself another rod ,
and thou shalt inscribe it for Joseph ,
the rod of Ephraim ,
and all the children of Israel (

Gr .
that are added to him (:
note )
that belong to him .
*
And thou shalt joint them together for thyself ,
so as that they should bind themselves into one stick ;
and they shall be in thine hand .
*
And it shall come to pass ,
when the children of thy people shall say to thee ,
Wilt thou not tell us what thou meanest by these things ?
*
Then shalt thou say to them ,
Thus saith the Lord ;
behold ,
I will take the tribe of Joseph ,
which is in the hand of Ephraim ,
and the tribes of Israel that belong to him ,
and I will add them to the tribe of Juda ,
and they shall become one rod in the hand of Juda .
*
And the rods on which thou didst write shall be in thine hand in their presence .
*
And thou shalt say to them ,
Thus saith the Lord God ;
Behold ,
I will take the whole house of Israel out of the midst of the nations ,
among whom they have gone ,
and I will gather them from all that are round about them ,
and I will bring them into the land of Israel .
*
And I will make them a nation in my land ,
even on the mountains of Israel ;
and they shall have one prince :
and they shall be no more two nations ,
neither shall (

there shall be one prince of them (:

they be divided any more at all into two kingdoms :
*
that they may no more defile themselves with their idols ;
and I will deliver them from all their transgressions whereby they have sinned ,
and will cleanse them ;
and they shall be to me a people ,
and I the Lord will be to them a God .
*
And my servant David shall be a prince in the midst of them :
there shall be one shepherd of them all ;
for they shall walk in mine ordinances ,
and keep my judgements ,
and do them .
*
And they shall dwell in their land ,
which I have given to my servant Jacob ,
where their fathers dwelt ;
and they shall dwell upon it : (

and David my servant shall be their prince forever .
*
And I will make with them a covenant of peace ;
it shall be an everlasting covenant with them ;
and I will establish my sanctuary in the midst of them for ever .

And the nations shall know that I am the Lord that sanctifies them ,
when my sanctuary is in the midst of them for ever .
