God 's Message came to me: "You, son of man: Take a stick and write on it, ‘For Judah, with his Israelite companions.'

Contextual Overview

15 The word of the Lord came to me again. He said, 16 "Son of man, get one stick and write this message on it: ‘This stick belongs to Judah and his friends, the people of Israel.' Then take another stick and write on it, ‘This stick of Ephraim belongs to Joseph and his friends, the people of Israel.' 17 Then join the two sticks together. In your hand, they will be one stick. 18 "Your people will ask you to explain what that means. 19 Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: ‘I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim and his friends, the people of Israel. Then I will put that stick with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick. In my hand, they will become one stick!' 20 "Take the sticks that you wrote on and hold them in front of you. 21 Tell the people that this is what the Lord God says: ‘I will gather the people of Israel from among the nations. I will gather them from all around and bring them back to their own land. 22 I will make them one nation in their land among the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over them all. They will no longer be two nations. They will not be split into two kingdoms anymore. 23 And they will no longer continue to make themselves filthy with their idols and horrible statues or with any of their other crimes. Instead, I will save them from all the places where they have sinned, and I will wash them and make them pure. They will be my people, and I will be their God. 24 "‘And my servant David will be the king over them. There will be only one shepherd over all of them. They will live by my rules and obey my laws. They will do the things I tell them.
