¹⁶ “Now you, son of man, take for yourself ^(A)one stick and write on it, ‘For ^(B)Judah and for the sons of Israel, his companions’; then take another stick and write on it, ‘For ^(C)Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and all the house of Israel, his companions.’ ¹⁷ Then ^(D)put them together for yourself one to another into one stick, so that they may become one in your hand.

²² and I will make them ^(A)one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and ^(B)one king will be king for all of them; and they will no longer be two nations, and no longer be divided into two kingdoms.
