Which prophet had a vision of a valley of dry bones?

Ezekiel had the vision of a valley of dry bones.

The prophet Ezekiel saw the valley of dry bones in a vision recorded in Ezekiel chapter 37. In the scene, God brings Ezekiel into a valley filled with bones and asks whether they can live again. At the prophet’s command, the bones join together, receive tendons and flesh, and are covered with skin. Breath then enters the bodies, and they stand alive as a vast army.

The vision’s interpretation is given within the chapter. The bones represent the people of Israel in exile, who feel cut off and without hope. God promises to restore them, bring them back to their land, and renew their national life. Although the imagery is frequently used to symbolize resurrection, the passage’s immediate setting is the restoration of Israel after catastrophe and displacement.

Ezekiel was a priest and prophet associated with the Babylonian Exile. His book is known for highly symbolic visions, including the divine chariot in chapter 1. Daniel, Jeremiah, and Isaiah were also major biblical prophets, but none of them is the prophet specifically connected with the dry-bones vision.
