18 “In those days they will walk together, the house of Judah alongside the house of Israel,+ and together they will come from the land of the north into the land that I gave to your forefathers as an inheritance.+

19 tell them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: “I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Eʹphra·im, and the tribes of Israel who are with him, and I will join them to the stick of Judah; and I will make them one stick,+ and they will become one in my hand.”’

10 “And the number of the people* of Israel will be like the grains of sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered.+ And in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’+ it will be said to them, ‘The sons of the living God.’+ 11 And the people of Judah and of Israel will be gathered together into unity+ and will choose for themselves one head and go up out of the land, for great will be the day of Jezʹre·el.+
