The word of the LORD came to me, saying: “And you, son
of man, take for yourself one piece of wood and write upon it, ‘For Judah and
for the children of Israel associated with him’; then take another piece of
wood and write upon it, ‘For Joseph, the wood of Ephraim, and for all the house
of Israel associated with him.’ Then bring them close to one another, one to
the other, so that they become one piece of wood in your hand. And when your
people say to you, saying, ‘Will you not tell us what these are to you?’ speak
to them: Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am taking the wood of Joseph, which
is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel associated with him, and I
will place them upon it, the wood of Judah, and make them one piece of wood;
and they shall be one in My hand. And the pieces of wood upon which you write
shall be in your hand before their eyes. Then speak to them: Thus says the Lord
GOD: Behold, I am taking the children of Israel from among the nations to which
they have gone, and I will gather them from all around and bring them to their
land. I will make them one nation in the land, upon the mountains of Israel,
and one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations,
nor be divided into two kingdoms again. They shall no longer defile themselves
with their idols, with their abominations, or with any of their transgressions;
I will save them from all the places where they have sinned, and I will cleanse
them. They shall be My people, and I will be their God.
“My servant David shall be king over them, and there
shall be one shepherd for them all. They shall walk in My ordinances and keep
My statutes and do them. They shall dwell in the land that I gave to My servant
Jacob, where your fathers dwelt; they shall dwell in it, they and their
children and their children’s children forever, and My servant David shall be
prince over them forever. I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall
be an everlasting covenant with them. I will establish them and multiply them,
and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forever. My dwelling shall be over
them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. Then the nations
shall know that I am the LORD who sanctifies Israel, כאשר My sanctuary is in
their midst forever.”
