Ezekiel: Breath in the Valley of Bones
A guided reading of Ezekiel 37
Twelve scenes about a priest without a temple in the Babylonian exile, a valley full of dry bones the prophet was commanded to prophesy to, a single Hebrew word, *ruach*, that appears ten times in the chapter and means at once breath, wind, and spirit, and the double reading of a vision that sustained Israel in captivity and Christianity in its theology of resurrection.
This journey is read in full inside Hesed.
