verse 15-17, [The word of the Lord came to me: Son of man, take a stick of wood and write on it, "Belonging to Judah and the Israelites associated with him." Then take another stick of wood, and write on it, "Ephraims stick, belonging to Joseph and all the house of Israel associated with him." Join them together into one stick so that they will become one in your hand.]
Verse 21, [and say to them, "This is what the sovereign Lord says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel.]
Verse 27, [My dwelling place will be with them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.]
So where is and whom is Ephraim now?
