16“And you, son of man, take a single stick and write on it: ‘Belonging to Judah and to the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another stick and write on it: ‘Belonging to Joseph — the stick of Ephraim— and to all the house of Israel associated with him.’
17Then join them together into one stick, so that they become one in your hand.
— Ezekiel 37:16-17
