Ezekiel37:6

I will lay sinews upon you - Observe the progress:

1. Here are the bones.

2. The ligaments, called here sinews, are to be added in order to unite the bones, that the skeleton might be complete.

3. The flesh (the whole muscular system, the subjacent and superjacent muscles, including the arterial and venous system) clothes this skeleton.

4. The skin (the dermis and epidermis, or cutis and cuticle) envelopes the whole of these muscles or flesh; and now these bodies are in the state that the body of Adam was before it received the animal and intellectual principle from God.

5. There was no breath in them - they had not yet received their souls.

6. The wind, רוח ruach, the soul, came into them. They were endued with animal and intellectual life; and they arose and evidenced a complete restoration to life, and began to perform its functions, Eze 37:10.
