69. And the holy prophet Ezekiel teaches and
describes with a full exposition how vigour is restored to the dry
bones, the senses return, motion is added, and the sinews coming back,
the joints of the human body grow strong; how the bones which were very
dry are clothed with restored flesh, and the course of the veins and
the flow of the blood is covered by the veil of the skin drawn over
them. As we read, the reviving multitude of human bodies seems to
spring up under the very words of the prophet, and one can see on the
widespread plain the new seed shoot forth.
