15Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 16“And you, son of man, take a single stickb 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.’
