EZEKIEL—NOTE ON Ezekiel 37:3 The question can these bones live? anticipates the exiles’ view of their own situation (v. Ezekiel 37:11): total hopelessness. It also introduces one of the key words in the passage: the verb “to live” appears in vv. Ezekiel 37:3, Ezekiel 37:5, Ezekiel 37:6, Ezekiel 37:9, Ezekiel 37:10, Ezekiel 37:14. Ezekiel’s response leaves the outcome to God’s sovereignty.
