The passage describes a vision Ezekiel had where God led him into a valley full of dry bones. God asked if the bones could live, and Ezekiel said only God knows. God commands Ezekiel to prophesy to the bones, saying he will put breath in them and they will come alive. As Ezekiel prophesied, the bones came together and were covered with flesh and skin, but had no breath. God then commands Ezekiel to prophesy to the breath, and when he does the bodies stand up as a vast army. The passage connects to Revelation about breath from God entering those who were slain, and references the creation of man with God breathing life into dust.

2. Ezekiel 37:1-10 (NIV)
The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he
brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and
set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of
bones. 2 He led me back and forth among them,
and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the
valley, bones that were very dry. 3 He asked me,
"Son of man, can these bones live?" I said, "O
Sovereign LORD, you alone know." 4 Then he
said to me, "Prophesy to these bones and say to
them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!

3. 5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these
bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will
come to life. 6 I will attach tendons to you and make
flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will
put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then
you will know that I am the LORD.'" 7 So I
prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was
prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound,
and the bones came together, bone to bone.

4. 8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them
and skin covered them, but there was no breath in
them. 9 Then He said to me, "Prophesy to the
breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, 'This is
what the Sovereign LORD says: Come from the four
winds, O breath, and breathe into these slain, that
they may live.'" 10 So I prophesied as He
commanded me, and breath entered them; they
came to life and stood up on their feet - a vast army.

5. Revelation 11:11 (NIV)
But after the three and a half days a breath of life
from God entered them, and they stood on their
feet, and terror struck those who saw them.
