Ezekiel 47:3-5

3As the man went eastward with a measuring line in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits1 and led me through ankle-deep water.

4Then he measured off a thousand cubits and led me through knee-deep water.

Again he measured a thousand cubits and led me through waist-deep water.

5Once again he measured off a thousand cubits, but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough for swimming—a river that could not be crossed on foot.
