Ezek. 37:1b LXX/MT

Ezek. 37:1 RSV   The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley; it was full of bones.

Ezek. 37:1b    
ἐξήγαγέν με ἐν πνεύματι κύριος
and the LORD brought me out in/by [a] spirit 
ויוצאני ברוח יהוה
and he brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD

Here the LXX reads YHWH יהוה at the end of the clause as the subject of the verb. This is improbable syntax, since the subject would normally not follow the adverb ברוח. The expression ברוח יהוה is an equivalent of ברוח אלהים Ezek. 11:24 (cf. W.Zimmerli, M. Greenberg).
