He led me all around among the bones that covered the valley floor. They were scattered everywhere across the ground and were completely dried out.

he asked me, “Son of man, can these bones become living people again?” “O Sovereign LORD,” I replied, “you alone know the answer to that
.”Slide28

6 I will put flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’” Slide29

army.
