The Lord also commanded Ezekiel to take two sticks (or tablets; cf. Zechariah 11:7-14). He was to write on one of them "For Judah and for the sons of Israel, Judah"s companions." He was to write on the other stick "For Joseph and for the sons of Ephraim, Joseph"s companions." One stick represented the Jews of the Southern Kingdom of Judah and the other the Jews of the Northern Kingdom of Israel. Ezekiel was then to join the two sticks together in his hand end to end so they appeared to be one stick. Mormonism teaches that the two sticks represent the Bible (the stick of Judah) and the Book of Mormon (the stick of Joseph), but the rest of the passage refutes this interpretation.
