³⁹ ויחמו הצאן אל המקלות ותלדן הצאן עקדים נקדים וטלאים׃

¹⁶ You, son of man, take one stick, and write on it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and [for] all the house of Israel his companions:

¹⁷ and join them for you one to another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.
