Ezekiel 47:1-14

1And he broughtH3318 me backH7725 to the doorH6607 of the houseH1004; and behold, watersH4325 issued out from under the thresholdH4670 of the houseH1004 eastward: for the front of the houseH1004 was eastward. And the watersH4325 cameH3318 downH3381 from under, from the rightH3233 sideH3802 of the houseH1004, southH5045 of the altarH4196.

2And he broughtH3318 me out by the wayH1870 of the gateH8179 northward, and led me roundH5437 outside unto the outer gateH8179 towards [the gateH8179] that looketh eastward; and behold, watersH4325 ran out on the rightH3233 sideH3802.

3When the manH376 wentH3318 forthH3318 eastward, a line was in his handH3027; and he measuredH4058 a thousandH505 cubitsH520, and he caused me to passH5674 through the watersH4325: the watersH4325 were to the ankles.

4And he measuredH4058 a thousandH505 [cubits], and caused me to passH5674 through the watersH4325: the watersH4325 were to the knees. And he measuredH4058 a thousandH505 and caused me to passH5674 through: the watersH4325 were to the loinsH4975.

5And he measuredH4058 a thousandH505: 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]? And he led me, and broughtH7725 me backH7725 to the bankH8193 of the riverH5158.

7When I returnedH7725, behold, on the bankH8193 of the riverH5158 were veryH3966 manyH7227 treesH6086 on the oneH2088 side and on the other.

8And he saidH559 unto me, These watersH4325 issue out toward the east district, and goH3318 down into the plainH6160, and goH3318 into the seaH3220; when they are broughtH935 forthH3318 into the seaH3220, the watersH4325 [thereof] shall be healedH7495.

9And it shall comeH935 to pass that every living thing which moveth, whithersoever the double riverH5158 shall comeH935, shall liveH2421. And there shall beH1961 a veryH3966 great multitude of fishH1710; for these watersH4325 shall comeH935 thither, and [the watersH4325 of the sea] shall beH1961 healedH7495; and everythingH3605 shall liveH2421 whither the riverH5158 cometh.

10And it shall come to pass, that fishers shall standH5975 upon it; from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim shall beH1961 [a place] to spread forth netsH2764: their fishH1710 shall beH1961 according to their kindsH4327, as the fishH1710 of the greatH1419 seaH3220, exceeding manyH7227.

11But its marshes and its pools shall not be healedH7495; they shall be givenH5414 up to saltH4417.

12And by the riverH5158, upon its bankH8193, on the oneH2088 side and on the other, shall grow all treesH6086 for foodH3978, whose leafH5929 shall not fade, nor their fruitH6529 fail: it shall bringH3318 forthH3318 newH2320 fruitH6529 every monthH2320, for its watersH4325 issue out of the sanctuaryH4720; and the fruitH6529 thereof shall beH1961 for foodH3978, and the leafH5929 thereof for medicine.

13ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: This shall be the borderH1366 whereby ye shall allot the landH776 as inheritanceH5157 according to the twelve tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478: JosephH3130 [shall have twoH8147] portionsH2256.

14And ye shall inheritH5157 it, oneH376 as well as another, [the landH776] concerning which I liftedH5375 up my handH3027 to giveH5414 it unto your fathersH1; and this landH776 shall fallH5307 to you for inheritanceH5159.
