Ezekiel 47:1-5

1Then the man brought me backH7725 toH413 the entranceH6607 of the templeH1004, and I sawH2009 waterH4325 flowingH3318 from underH8478 the thresholdH4670 of the templeH1004 toward the eastH6921 (forH3588 the templeH1004 facedH6440 eastH6921). The waterH4325 was coming downH3381 from underH8478 the southH3233 sideH3802 of the templeH1004, southH5045 of the altarH4196.

2Next he brought me outH3318 throughH1870 the northH6828 gateH8179 and led me aroundH5437H1870 the outsideH2351 toH413 the outerH2351H1870 gateH8179 facingH6437 eastH6921, and there I sawH2009 the waterH4325 trickling outH6379 fromH4480 the southH3233 sideH3802.

3As the manH376 wentH3318 eastwardH6921 with a measuring lineH6957 in his handH3027, he measured offH4058 a thousandH505 cubitsH5201 and led me throughH5674 ankle-deepH657 waterH4325.

4Then he measured offH4058 a thousandH505 cubits and led me throughH5674 knee-deepH1290 waterH4325.

Again he measuredH4325H4058 a thousandH505 cubits and led me throughH5674 waist-deepH4975 waterH4325.

5Once again he measured offH4058 a thousandH505 cubits, but now it was a riverH5158 thatH834 I couldH3201 notH3808 crossH5674, becauseH3588 the waterH4325 had risenH1342 and was deep enough for swimmingH7813—a riverH5158 thatH834 could notH3808 be crossed on footH5674.
