⁷ Then Yahweh God formed man of ^(A)dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and so the ^(B)man became a living ^[a]being.

⁹ Then He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “Come from the four ^[a]winds, O breath, and ^(A)breathe on these who were killed, that they may ^(B)come to life.”’” ¹⁰ So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the ^(C)breath came into them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, an ^(D)exceedingly great military force.

¹⁴ And I will ^(A)put My ^[a]Spirit within you, and you will come to life, and I will ^[b]place you on your own land. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken and done it,” declares Yahweh.’”
