ezekiel 37:8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

ezekiel 37:8 And I looked, and behold, sinews were on them, and flesh grew, and skin covered them; but there was no breath in them.

ezekiel 37:8 And I looked, and behold, sinews were on them, and flesh grew, and skin covered them; but there was no breath in them.
