17
and join them for you one to another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.
18
When the children of your people shall speak to you, saying, Will you not show us what you mean by these?
19
tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions; and I will put them with it, [even] with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.
20
The sticks whereon you write shall be in your hand before their eyes.
