17 And ioyne thee them one to another into one sticke: and they shalbe as one in thy hande.
18 Now if the children of thy people speake vnto thee, saying: Wilt thou not shew vs what thou meanest by these?
19 Then geue them this aunswere, thus sayth the Lorde God: Beholde, I will take the stocke of Ioseph, whiche is in the hand of Ephraim, and of the tribes of Israel his felowes, and wil put them with him, euen with the stocke of Iuda, and make them one stocke, and they shalbe one in my hande.
20 And the stickes where vpon thou wrytest, shalt thou haue in thy hand, that they may see.
21 And thou shalt say vnto them, thus sayth the Lorde God: Beholde, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen vnto whom they be gone, and will gather them together on euery side, and bring them againe into their owne lande.
22 Yea I wil make one people of them in the land vpon the mountaynes of Israel, and one king shalbe king to them al: they shall no more be two peoples, neither be deuided from hencefoorth into two kingdomes.
