16Son of man, take for thyself a rod, and write upon it, Judah, and the children of Israel his adherents; and thou shalt take for thyself another rod, and thou shalt inscribe it for Joseph, the rod of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel that belong to him.
17And thou shalt join them together for thyself, so as that they should bind themselves into one stick; and they shall be in thy hand.
— Ezekiel 37:18 —
19Then shalt thou say to them, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will take the tribe of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel that belong to him, and I will add them to the tribe of Judah, and they shall become one rod in the hand of Judah.
20And the rods on which thou didst write shall be in thy hand in their presence.
