15 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
16 'And as for you, son of man, take up a piece of wood for yourself, and write upon it: 'For Judah, and for the sons of Israel, his companions.' And take up another piece of wood, and write upon it: 'For Joseph, the wood of Ephraim, and for the entire house of Israel, and for his companions.'
17 And join these, one to the other, for yourself, as one piece of wood. And they will be united in your hand.
18 Then, when the sons of your people will speak to you, saying: 'Will you not tell us what you intend by this?'
19 you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will take up the wood of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, which are joined to him, and I will put them together with the wood of Judah, and I will make them one piece of wood. And they will be one in his hand.
