Source: Nav
Ezekiel 37:16, 17
“And you, son of man, take a single stick and write on it: ‘Belonging to Judah and to the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another stick and write on it: ‘Belonging to Joseph—the stick of Ephraim—and to all the house of Israel associated with him.’ / Then join them together into one stick, so that they become one in your hand.
Zechariah 11:7, 10, 11, 14
So I pastured the flock marked for slaughter, especially the afflicted of the flock. Then I took for myself two staffs, calling one Favor and the other Union, and I pastured the flock. / Next I took my staff called Favor and cut it in two, revoking the covenant I had made with all the nations. / It was revoked on that day, and so the afflicted of the flock who were watching me knew that it was the word of the LORD.
