Ezekiel 37:10 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

I prophesied: see Ezekiel 37:7. The breath, Heb. the spirit; the spirit of life, or the soul, Genesis 2:7. Came; entered, took up its abode. They lived; presently discovered that they did live. Stood up; rose with strength, able to support themselves. Army; a power, so the Hebrew, or army of strong, courageous, and well-ordered soldiers. The phrase in the Hebrew is very full; a power, or great host, very, very great. Thus they rise, that the prophet and we might know how safe they would be in themselves, and how terrible to their enemies.

Ezekiel 37:10

10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
