Then the man clothed in linen with the writing equipment at his side reported back, “I have done as You commanded me.”

After the Lord commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from inside the wheelwork, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel.

So I did just as I was commanded. In the daytime I brought out my bags like an exile’s bags. In the evening I dug through the wall by hand; I took them out in the dark, carrying them on my shoulder in their sight.

I spoke to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening. The next morning I did just as I was commanded.

So I prophesied as I had been commanded. While I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone.

So I prophesied as He commanded me; the breath entered them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, a vast army.
