Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 37:11

"Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off." — Ezekiel 37:11 (ASV)

Are the whole house of Israel.— This Divine interpretation of the vision leaves no doubt of its meaning. Whatever other sense might possibly be attached to its language, there can be no uncertainty concerning what the Spirit intended. The last clause of the verse, cut off for our parts, is obscure in English, but in the original is simply for us—that is, “as for us, we are cut off.”
