18. And when the children of your people shall speak unto you, saying, Will you not show us what you mean by these?
19. Say unto them, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.
20. And the sticks on which you write shall be in your hand before their eyes.
