Ezekiel 37:7 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

I prophesied; declared or pronounced these promises or gracious purposes of God concerning them. As I was commanded: whether it was thus or some other way, the prophet was commanded it, and so he did it; he spake to them which could not but be deaf to him, and which could not but hear when God speaks. As I prophesied; either according to the purport of my prophecy, or rather during the time, or while I was prophesying, or so soon as I prophesied. A noise; thunder, say some; others, more likely, the noise was the rattling of the bones in their motion; such noise they could not but make, where multitudes of them heaped or laid together disperse, and roll themselves from one to other, till they meet their fellow bones. A shaking; there was a trembling or commotion among these bones, enough to make this noise, and to manifest a Divine presence and word from God working among them. Came together; crept, or with this shaking motion glided, nearer and nearer, till each bone met the bone to which it was to be tied.
