繁體中文
英語原文
Eze 37:1-28.
THE VISION OF DRY BONES REVIVIFIED, SYMBOLIZING ISRAEL'S DEATH AND RESURRECTION.
Three stages in Israel's revival present themselves to the prophet's eye. (1) The new awakening of the people, the resurrection of the dead
(Eze 37:1-14).
(2) The reunion of the formerly hostile members of the community, whose contentions had affected the whole
(Eze 37:15-28).
(3) The community thus restored is strong enough to withstand the assault of Gog, &c.
(Eze 38:1-39:29)
[EWALD].
1. carried . . . in the spirit--The matters transacted, therefore, were not literal, but in vision.
the valley--probably that by the Chebar
(Eze 3:22).
The valley represents Mesopotamia, the scene of Israel's sojourn in her state of national deadness.

3. 這些骸骨能復活嗎？……主耶和華你知道——暗示就人的角度而言，它們不能；但信心將可能性的問題交託給神——在祂沒有不可能的事
(De 32:39)。
這是基督徒信心的圖像：儘管一切外表看來與之相悖，仍相信將來死人普遍復活，因為神如此說了
(Joh 5:21; Ro 4:17; 2Co 1:9)。
英語原文
3. can these bones live? . . . thou knowest--implying that, humanly speaking, they could not; but faith leaves the question of possibility to rest with God, with whom nothing is impossible
(De 32:39).
An image of Christian faith which believes in the coming general resurrection of the dead, in spite of all appearances against it, because God has said it
(Joh 5:21; Ro 4:17; 2Co 1:9).

4. 說預言——向他們宣告神那使人蘇醒的話。正因神的話內在具有成就其目的的能力，先知被說成作了他們預言將要作的事

英語原文
4. Prophesy--Proclaim God's quickening word to them. On account of this innate power of the divine word to effect its end, prophets are said to do that which they prophesy as about to be done

7. 響聲——骨頭互相碰撞時的響聲。或許是指居魯士的諭旨，或猶太人因蒙拯救歸回而歡呼的聲音。
骨頭連絡——字面意思是「你們骨頭連絡在一起」；正如
耶四十九11
（希伯來文）：「你寡婦可以倚靠我。」第二人稱使景象生動地呈現在眼前，因為整個復活的場景是一場以行動傳遞的預言，為要使言語的預言更切實地向百姓表明
（結三十七21）。
英語原文
7. noise--of the bones when coming in mutual collision. Perhaps referring to the decree of Cyrus, or the noise of the Jews' exultation at their deliverance and return.
bones came together--literally, "ye bones came together"; as in
Jer 49:11
(Hebrew), "ye widows of thine shall trust in Me." The second person puts the scene vividly before one's eyes, for the whole resurrection scene is a prophecy in action to render more palpably to the people the prophecy in word
(Eze 37:21).

8. 到此為止，他們只是作為難看的骸骨排列有序。下一步，依次以筋、皮、肉遮蓋他們，使他們有了美形；但「還沒有氣息」在其中。這可能暗示以色列將來——正如從巴比倫歸回時部分所發生的——起初未歸正就回到猶大
（亞十三8-9）。
屬靈上：一個人可能有屬靈生命的一切外表，卻沒有生命，因此在神面前是死的。
英語原文
8. So far, they were only cohering in order as unsightly skeletons. The next step, that of covering them successively with sinews, skin, and flesh, gives them beauty; but still "no breath" of life in them. This may imply that Israel hereafter, as at the restoration from Babylon was the case in part, shall return to Judea unconverted at first
(Zec 13:8, 9).
Spiritually: a man may assume all the semblances of spiritual life, yet have none, and so be dead before God.

正如他們曾被「散在四方」

9. wind--rather, the spirit of life or life-breath (Margin). For it is distinct from "the four winds" from which it is summoned.
from the four winds--implying that Israel is to be gathered from the four quarters of the earth

10. 神如此尊榮祂的神聖話語，即使出於人之口亦然。何況出於神子之口！
（約五25-29）。
雖然本章並非直接證明死人復活，卻間接證明了；因為它將未來的事實視為信主的猶太人已經公認的，並以此作為他們國家復興的影像（參

10. Such honor God gives to the divine word, even in the mouth of a man. How much more when in the mouth of the Son of God!
(Joh 5:25-29).
Though this chapter does not directly prove the resurrection of the dead, it does so indirectly; for it takes for granted the future fact as one recognized by believing Jews, and so made the image of their national restoration (so

我們滅絕淨盡了——即就我們而言。我們裡面毫無可指望之處，如同從樹上「砍下」的枯枝，或從身體上截斷的肢體。

11. Our bones are dried--

12. 我的百姓——與「就我們而論」
（結三十七11）
形成對比。如果看自己則全然消失的盼望，在神裡面卻是確定的，因為祂看他們為祂的百姓。他們與神的立約關係保證祂不會任憑死亡永遠掌權。基督以同樣的原則作為身體復活的根基。神曾說「我是亞伯拉罕的神」等；神既接納先祖們為屬祂的，就承擔為他們成就全能所能行的一切：祂既是永活的神，就必然是活人——而非死人——的神，即那些祂立約之愛約束祂使之復活的人的神。祂能——因為祂能——祂必——祂必須〔FAIRBAIRN〕。祂在接納他們歸入恩寵時稱他們為「我的百姓」；但在對祂僕人說話時卻稱「你的百姓」，彷彿要將他們從自己面前趕走
（結十三17，三十三2； 出三十二7）。
從墳墓中出來——從你們政治上死亡的狀態中出來，首先是在巴比倫，最終是在萬國中（參
結六8； 何十三14）。
猶太人視他們被擄和分散之地為他們的「墳墓」；他們的歸回將是「如從死裡復活」
（羅十一15）。
先前，骸骨是在開闊的平原上
（結三十七1-2）； 如今，在墳墓中，即一些猶太人在實際被擄的墳墓中，其他人則自由但分散。兩者同樣在國家意義上是死的。
英語原文
12. my people--in antithesis to "for our parts"
(Eze 37:11).
The hope that is utterly gone, if looking at themselves, is sure for them in God, because He regards them as His people. Their covenant relation to God ensures His not letting death permanently reign over them. Christ makes the same principle the ground on which the literal resurrection rests. God had said, "I am the God of Abraham," &c.; God, by taking the patriarchs as His, undertook to do for them all that Omnipotence can perform: He, being the ever living God, is necessarily the God of, not dead, but living persons, that is, of those whose bodies His covenant love binds Him to raise again. He can--and because He can--He will--He must [FAIRBAIRN]. He calls them "My people" when receiving them into favor; but "thy people," in addressing His servant, as if He would put them away from Him
(Eze 13:17; 33:2; Ex 32:7).
out of your graves--out of your politically dead state, primarily in Babylon, finally hereafter in all lands (compare
Eze 6:8; Ho 13:14).
The Jews regarded the lands of their captivity and dispersion as their "graves"; their restoration was to be as "life from the dead"
(Ro 11:15).
Before, the bones were in the open plain
(Eze 37:1, 2);
now, in the graves, that is, some of the Jews were in the graves of actual captivity, others at large but dispersed. Both alike were nationally dead.

16. 棍——暗指
民 17:2
的支派之杖。兩根杖的合一，是弟兄合一的行動預言，這合一將使十支派與猶大重新聯合。正如他們在耶羅波安治下的分裂為立約之民帶來了極大的災禍，同樣，兩者因生命的靈與神聯合後的首要結果，便是他們在那獨一的立約之君——彌賽亞大衛——之下彼此聯合。
猶大，以及……以色列他的同伴——即猶大，以及除了便雅憫和利未之外，那些以法蓮、瑪拿西、西緬、亞設、西布倫、以薩迦支派中歸附他的人，因為聖殿和合法的祭司制度就在他的境內
（代下 11:12, 13, 16；15:9；30:11, 18）。
後者在十支派被擄後便與猶大同化，並與猶大一同從巴比倫歸回，因此在將來的復興中也要與這支派相聯。
至於約瑟，以法蓮的棍——以法蓮的後裔不僅在約瑟的其他後裔中居首（參較
結 37:19），
也在以色列十支派中居首。在士師時代四百年間，它與其附屬支派瑪拿西和便雅憫一同從前居於領導地位：示羅是其宗教首都；示劍是其政治首都。神將長子名分從流便（因他玷污了父親的床）轉賜給約瑟，而約瑟的代表以法蓮，雖然年幼，卻被立定
（創 48:19； 代上 5:1）。
因其卓越地位，「以色列」被加在其上作為「同伴」。此處的「全」（all）字——不像猶大的情形那樣，猶大只以「以色列的眾子」（即他們當中的一部分，就是跟隨猶大命運的人）作為「同伴」——暗示十支派的大多數在從巴比倫歸回時並未返回，而是與猶大有別，直到將來復興時才與之聯合。
英語原文
16. stick--alluding to
Nu 17:2,
the tribal rod. The union of the two rods was a prophecy in action of the brotherly union which is to reunite the ten tribes and Judah. As their severance under Jeroboam was fraught with the greatest evil to the covenant-people, so the first result of both being joined by the spirit of life to God is that they become joined to one another under the one covenant King, Messiah-David.
Judah, and . . . children of Israel his companions--that is, Judah and, besides Benjamin and Levi, those who had joined themselves to him of Ephraim, Manasseh, Simeon, Asher, Zebulun, Issachar, as having the temple and lawful priesthood in his borders
(2Ch 11:12, 13, 16; 15:9; 30:11, 18).
The latter became identified with Judah after the carrying away of the ten tribes, and returned with Judah from Babylon, and so shall be associated with that tribe at the future restoration.
For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim--Ephraim's posterity took the lead, not only of the other descendants of Joseph (compare
Eze 37:19),
but of the ten tribes of Israel. For four hundred years, during the period of the judges, with Manasseh and Benjamin, its dependent tribes, it had formerly taken the lead: Shiloh was its religious capital; Shechem, its civil capital. God had transferred the birthright from Reuben (for dishonoring his father's bed) to Joseph, whose representative, Ephraim, though the younger, was made
(Ge 48:19; 1Ch 5:1).
From its pre-eminence "Israel" is attached to it as "companions." The "all" in this case, not in that of Judah, which has only attached as "companions" "the children of Israel" (that is, some of them, namely, those who followed the fortunes of Judah), implies that the bulk of the ten tribes did not return at the restoration from Babylon, but are distinct from Judah, until the coming union with it at the restoration.

19. 從巴比倫歸回時所成就的聯合，只涵蓋了以色列中相對少數的人；因此必須期待將來完全的應驗。
約瑟的杖……在以法蓮手中——以法蓮在約瑟的後裔中曾在十支派中掌權：那由「杖」所象徵的統治權，如今要從他手中撤去，在神的手中與另一根——猶大的統治權——合而為一。
他們——「約瑟的杖」嚴格說來應為「它」；但以西結表達的是其含義，即服於其下的十支派。
與他——即猶大；或作「與它」，即猶大的杖。

19. The union effected at the restoration from Babylon embraced but comparatively few of Israel; a future complete fulfilment must therefore be looked for.
stick of Joseph . . . in the hand of Ephraim--Ephraim, of the descendants of Joseph, had exercised the rule among the ten tribes: that rule, symbolized by the "stick," was now to be withdrawn from him, and to be made one with the other, Judah's rule, in God's hand.
them--the "stick of Joseph," would strictly require "it"; but Ezekiel expresses the sense, namely, the ten tribes who were subject to it.
