21 And you shall say to them, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Behold, I am taking the sons of Israel from the nations to which they have gone there, and I will gather them from all around, and I will bring them into their own land. 22 And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel, and one king will be over them all as king; and will they be no longer as two nations, and they will not be divided anymore as two kingdoms again. 23 And they will not defile themselves anymore with their idols, and with their abominations, and with all their transgressions; and I will save them from all their apostasies in which they have sinned, and I will cleanse them; and they will be unto Me as a people, and I will be unto them as God. 24 And My servant David shall be king over them, and there will be one shepherd over them all; and in My ordinances they will walk, and My statutes they will keep, and they will do them. 25 And they will dwell in the land that I have given to My servant, to Jacob, where your⁺ fathers dwelt in it; and they will dwell upon it, they and their children, and the children of their children, even to forever; and David My servant shall be the prince for them forever. 26 And I will cut with them a covenant of peace; it will be covenant with them forever; and I will establish them, and I will multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forever. 27 And My dwelling place will be with them, and I will be unto them God, and they will be unto Me for a people. 28 And the nations will know that I, YHWH, am sanctifying Israel, when My sanctuary comes to be in their midst forever.’” Ezekiel 37:21-28, Berean Literal Bible.
