Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 37:7

7 So I prophesied as I was commanded : and as I prophesied there was a noise , and behold, a shaking , and the bones came together bone to his bone.

Declared, or pronounced these promises, or gracious purposes of God concerning them.

Whether it was thus or some other way, the Prophet was commanded it, and so he did it, he spake to them, which could not but be deaf to him, and which could not but hear when God speaks.

Either according to the purport of my prophesie, or rather during the time, or while I was prophesying, or so soon as I prophesied.

Thunder say some; others, more likely, the noise was the ratling of the bones in their motion; such noise they could not but make where multitudes of them heaped, or laid together disperse, and rowl themselves from one to other, till they meet their fellow bones.

There was a trembling or commotion among these bones, enough to make this noise, and to manifest a Divine Presence, and word from God working among them.

Crept, or with this shaking motion, glided nearer and nearer, till each bone met the bone, to which 'twas to be tied.
