Ezekiel 47:1-9
1And he broughtH3318 me backH7725 unto the doorH6607 of the houseH1004; and, behold, watersH4325 issued out from under the thresholdH4670 of the houseH1004 eastward (for the forefront of the houseH1004 was toward the eastH6921); and the watersH4325 cameH3318 downH3381 from under, from the rightH3233 sideH3802 of the houseH1004, on the southH5045 of the altarH4196. 2Then he broughtH3318 me out by the wayH1870 of the gateH8179 northward, and led me roundH5437 by the wayH1870 without unto the outer gateH8179, by the wayH1870 of the gateH8179 that looketh toward the eastH6921; and, behold, there ran out watersH4325 on the rightH3233 sideH3802.
3When the manH376 wentH3318 forthH3318 eastward with the line in his handH3027, he measuredH4058 a thousandH505 cubitsH520, and he caused me to passH5674 through the watersH4325, watersH4325 that were to the ankles. 4Again he measuredH4058 a thousandH505, and caused me to passH5674 through the watersH4325, watersH4325 that were to the knees. Again he measuredH4058 a thousandH505, and caused me to passH5674 through the watersH4325, watersH4325 that were to the loinsH4975. 5Afterward he measuredH4058 a thousandH505; and it was a riverH5158 that I could not passH5674 through; for the watersH4325 were risen, watersH4325 to swim in, a riverH5158 that could not be passedH5674 through.
6And he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, hast thou seenH7200 this? Then he broughtH7725 me, and caused me to returnH7725 to the bankH8193 of the riverH5158. 7Now when I had returnedH7725, behold, upon the bankH8193 of the riverH5158 were veryH3966 manyH7227 treesH6086 on the oneH2088 side and on the other. 8Then saidH559 he unto me, These watersH4325 issue forthH3318 toward the eastern region, and shall goH3318 down into the ArabahH6160; and they shall goH3318 toward the seaH3220; into the seaH3220 shall the watersH4325 goH3318 which were made to issue forthH3318; and the watersH4325 shall be healedH7495. 9And it shall comeH935 to pass, that every living creatureH5315 which swarmeth, in every place whither the rivers comeH935, shall liveH2421; and there shall beH1961 a veryH3966 great multitude of fishH1710; for these watersH4325 are comeH935 thither, and the watersH4325 of the sea shall beH1961 healedH7495, and everythingH3605 shall liveH2421 whithersoever the riverH5158 cometh.
