Charles Spurgeon Commentary Ezekiel 37:2

"And he caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry." — Ezekiel 37:2 (ASV)

And caused me to pass by them round about:

He had to make a thorough survey of this grim and ghastly charnel house.

And, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

They had lain there so long that the wind had dried up the juices of the marrow bones, and they were turned to dust.
