Before him the bones connect into human figures, then the bones become covered with tendon tissues, flesh, and skin.

In the later chapters, though, God tells the people that were sent into exile that He will bring them back, cleanse them of their sins, and give them a new heart and a new spirit so that they would obey Him and things will be well with them again.
