ezekiel in the valley: day 02

For ourselves: palm trees, one reed. For the nations: the burnt
servant's brother upon the right hand of the prince. Prepare your sons

for their inheritance. Your fathers have spoken. The gate shall be opened,
and the thousand graves within the wall along the borders of man.

Hast thou the one gate to give him, a noise of brass, a shield? (The
merchants of the house shall take your daughter for a spoil.) As to

the people, I will appease the watchers at the gate; I will save them.
Neither through bars nor by burnt offering, though there be even

an hundred. See: a man stands in the south. There is a river, a span.
Thus saith the tenth part of the flock: we may as yet be passed over

against the city. Had but one in their goings-out settled the cost, you
should have come out of one gate into possession of the other before

the north grew rebellious, coming with the noise of brass, even unto
the sanctuary's eighth step to rob those that they would bury

soon enough. This is the month. They have committed. I have been allotted
two square cubits in which to make your graves in the inner court. Just

there. Then shall arise a great sea; for it may be that these are
the sanctified of the people, and that their inheritance shall be

the east. Yet thou who approach to destroy the building, behold:
this is the final oblation. None of the waters shall remain.
