In this fascinating verse (Ezek 37.9), the following appears:
TADE LEGEI KUPIOS 

I wonder if someone could enlighten me on the meaning of the TADE.

The verse in full reads 

KAI EIPEN PROS ME PROFHTEUSON )UIE ANQRWPOU PROFHTUESON EPI TO PNEUMA KAI EIPON TWi PNEUMATI TADE LEGIE KUPIOS EK TWN TESSARWN PNEUMATWN ELQE KAI EMFUSHSON EIS TOUS NEKROUS TOUTOUS KAI ZHSATWSAN

Further, I wonder if the list would agree that PNEUMA is best translated "wind" in this case.  The NRSV uses "the breath", but I wonder if that is pushing this use a little too far, since it/they are called out of the TESSARWN.
