Ezekiel 37:4-6

Again he said, Prophesy upon these bones Here sense and understanding are attributed to the dry bones; and as these bones signified the captive Jews, they are with strict propriety called upon to hear the word of the Lord. But this is also to be considered, as has been intimated on Ezekiel 37:1, a prophetical representation of that voice of the Son of God which quickens and raises to spiritual life such as are dead in sin; and which all that are in their graves shall hear at the last day, and shall come forth out of them. Thus saith the Lord, I will cause breath to enter into you, &c. The breath of life, as it is expressed Genesis 2:7. And I will lay sinews upon you, &c. All the expressions made use of here are such as describe the resurrection of a dead body.
