[[File:dry-bones1.jpg|lright|300px|thumb|The valley of [[dry bones]] is like the valley of the dead because it is full of the workers of [[iniquity]]. Those [[dry bones]] must choose to [[seek]] the [[righteousness]] of God but are often not willing to receive the breath of God and hear the words that set the [[captive]] free. In pride they cling to their false doctrines until the dead are burying the dead.  ]]

==The Carcass of the dead ==

A carcass is defined as the dead body of an animal.

The Hebrew word (נְבֵלָה)‎ ''nëbelah'' is translated ''carcase'' and ''dead body'' but it is from the Hebrew ''nabel'' (נָבֵל‎ ) meaning to ''to be senseless, be foolish and can be associated sometimes with [[idols]]. Those who pursued the systems of [[legal charity]] offered by [[Nimrod]] and [[city-state]]s like [[Sodom]] or [[Sumer]] and would not divide or separate themselves from the [[turtledove|Dove Goddesses]] of Mesopotamia were seen as [[foolish]] like [[Saul]] who [[force]]d an offering and thereby cut themselves off from the Creator God of [[Natural Law]] with their [[covetous practices]].


[[Leviticus 5]]:2 "Or if a soul touch any unclean<Ref name="tame">{{02931}}</Ref> thing<Ref name="dabar">{{01697}}</Ref>, whether it be a [[carcase]] (בְנִבְלַ֨ת)<Ref name="nëbelah">{{05038}}</Ref> of an unclean beast<Ref name="chay">{{02416}}</Ref>, or a [[carcase]] of unclean cattle<Ref name="bëhemah">{{0929}}</Ref> , or the [[carcase]] of unclean creeping things<Ref name="sherets">{{08318}}</Ref>, and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.<Ref name="asham">{{0816}}</Ref>"

What was really unclean and not to be touched according to Moses?


=== Beneblat the foolish ===

Why did Moses use the term ‎ nëbelah which was from נָבֵל‎ nabel<Ref name="nabel">{{05034}}</Ref> meaning "to be senseless, be foolish"?

And why did Moses use the term ''bəniḇlaṯ'' spelled BeitNunBeitLamedTav (בְנִבְלַ֨ת) instead of נְבֵלָה‎ nëbelah<Ref name="nëbelah">{{05038}}</Ref>  by itself?

Nothing is more [[foolish]] than going the way of [[Cain]], [[Nimrod]], [[Sumer]], [[Egypt]], and [[Rome]] which is the way of the [[world]] of the [[welfare State]] and not [[The Way]] of [[Christ]] and [[Moses]].

=== Mappeleth the fallen ===

There are other words translated carcase  like ''mappeleth'' (מַפֶּלֶת‎)[MemPeiLamedTav]<Ref name="mappeleth">{{04658}}</Ref>  which can mean ''ruined'' or ''overthrown'' and is said to be from Naphal (נָפַל)‎ [NunPeiLamed] meaning "to fall... cast down". 

We see an example of this word which is clearly the body of a lion used in a story full of symbols:

[[Judges 14]]:8  "And after a time <[[03117]]> he returned <[[07725]]> to take <[[03947]]> her, and he turned aside <[[05493]]> to see <[[07200]]> the carcase<Ref name="mappeleth">{{04658}}</Ref>  of the lion <[[0738]]>: and, behold, [there was] a swarm <[[05712]]> of bees <[[01682]]> and honey <[[01706]]> in the carcase<Ref name="gëviyah">{{01472}}</Ref> of the lion <[[0738]]>."

Yet, this too was an [[allegory]] with many double meanings.

=== Gaviyah the body of pride ===

Another word translated ''carcase'' as well as ''body'' and ''corpse'' which is the Hebrew word ''gëviyah''  (גְּוִיָּה)‎<Ref name="gëviyah">{{01472}}</Ref>  which is a prolonged form of the word ''gevah'' (גֵּוָה)‎ <Ref name="gevah ">{{01465}}</Ref> meaning "the back".

But we can also see the same letters (גֵּוָה)‎‎ gevah with the Strong's numbers [[01466]]<Ref name="gevah-6 ">{{01466}}</Ref> and [[01467]]<Ref name="gevah-7 ">{{01467}}</Ref> which both are said to mean ''[[pride]]''. And we also know that before the ''fall'' cometh ''[[pride]]''.

=== Ruining the life of the body ===

How did you kill the life of a nation?

To know how you [[degenerate]] the [[masses]] so that they might be ruined the people so that they might fall or fail and die is important so that you know what to turn away from and what to repent of so that you might live.   


<blockquote>In the ''Life of Coriolanus'', Sec. 14 [[Plutarch]] wrote in 100 AD, "That the man who first ''ruined'' the Roman people twas he who first gave them treats and gratuities. But this mischief crept secretly and gradually in, and did not openly make it's appearance in [[Rome]] for a considerable time."<Ref>Alternate translation. "For it has been well said that he first breaks down the power of the people who first feasts and bribes them. But at Rome the mischief seems to have crept in stealthily and gradually, and not to have been noticed at once." ''Life of Coriolanus'', Sec. 14</Ref></blockquote>

Certainly, [[Julius Caesar]] boosted this process but he was not alone in these [[covetous practices]] the ruined the Roman people. To be fair [[Caesar]] like the dictators of the [[world]] are a symptom of the people's [[appetite]] for these [[benefits]] and their desire for the [[dainties]] of rulers which led to the degeneration of the [[masses]] and the ushering in of [[tyranny]]. This concept of ruining the people, the whole nation has been repeated over and over and over through out all history.

== Breathing life into the dead ==

The [[Dry bones]] of  [[Ezekiel 37]]:4  are dead but it is asked can the hear,<Ref>Ezekiel 37:4  Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye [[dry bones]], hear the word of the LORD.</Ref> can they live again?

We are told that God can give us breath and we can live again.<Ref>[[Ezekiel 37]]:5  Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:</Ref>

Nut we need to [[repent]] of our [[covetous practice]] of [[legal charity]] and return to [[The Way]] we will not have life more abundant. This is why Jesus said:

<center>
'''"But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead."''' [[Matthew 8]]:22 <br>
'''"Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the [[kingdom of God]]."''' [[Luke 9]]:60 
</center>

Christ came to give life. If we come in His name we will do the same.

That is what seeking the [[kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]] is all about. Instead of [[bite|biting one another]] and being entangled in covetous practices which has been casting our neighbor and ourselves into [[bondage of Egypt]] and [[curse children]] with debt we will [[choose]] to come together and learn to live by [[faith]], [[hope]], and [[charity]] which is [[love]].
