Ezekiel 47:3-5

3As the man went out east with a measuring line in his hand, he measured off a third of a mile and led me through the water. It came up to my ankles.

4Then he measured off a third of a mile and led me through the water. It came up to my knees. He measured off another third of a mile and led me through the water. It came up to my waist.

5Again he measured off a third of a mile, and it was a river that I could not cross on foot. For the water had risen; it was deep enough to swim in, a river that could not be crossed on foot.
