And the word of the Lord came to me saying,
וְאַתָּה בֶן־אָדָם קַח־לְךָ עֵץ אֶחָד וּכְתֹב עָלָיו לִֽיהוּדָה וְלִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל חֲבֵרָו וּלְקַח עֵץ אֶחָד וּכְתוֹב עָלָיו לְיוֹסֵף עֵץ אֶפְרַיִם וְכׇל־בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל חֲבֵרָֽו׃
And thou, son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it. For Yehuda, and for the children of Yisra᾽el his companions: then take another stick and write upon it. For Yosef, the stick of Efrayim, and for all the house of Yisra᾽el his companions:

ולקח עץ אחד וכתיב עליו. זה ליוסף עץ אפרי' ושאר תשעה שבטים שהיו אחרי ירבע' שהיו משבט אפרי':
וְקָרַב אֹתָם אֶחָד אֶל־אֶחָד לְךָ לְעֵץ אֶחָד וְהָיוּ לַאֲחָדִים בְּיָדֶֽךָ׃
and join them one to the other to make one stick; and they shall become one in thy hand.

והיו לאחדים. אני אחבר' לשני העצים שיהא עץ אחד בידך:
וְכַֽאֲשֶׁר יֹאמְרוּ אֵלֶיךָ בְּנֵי עַמְּךָ לֵאמֹר הֲלֽוֹא־תַגִּיד לָנוּ מָה־אֵלֶּה לָּֽךְ׃

הנה אני לוקח את עץ וגו'. שלא יהיו עוד לשתי ממלכות:
וְהָיוּ הָעֵצִים אֲֽשֶׁר־תִּכְתֹּב עֲלֵיהֶם בְּיָדְךָ לְעֵינֵיהֶֽם׃
And the sticks on which thou writest shall be in thy hand before their eyes.
