Ezekiel 37-The Valley of the Dry Bones God showed Ezekiel a vision of the resurrection of these bones reassembling themselves into skeletons, then growing sinews, flesh and skin. Finally God brought the winds from all directions to breathe breath into them, and they came alive.  The explanation in the Bible is that the bones represent the people of Israel. Though they appear to be dead, they will live again and return to the Promised Land.
