Ezekiel 47

Water from the Temple

1Then he broughtH7725 me backH7725 to the 1doorH6607 of the houseH1004; and beholdH2009, 2waterH4325 was flowingH3318 from underH8478 the thresholdH4670 of the houseH1004 toward the eastH6921, for the houseH1004 facedH6440 eastH6921. And the waterH4325 was flowingH3381 downH3381 from underH8478, from the rightH3233 sideH3802 of the houseH1004, from southH5045 of the altarH4196. 2He broughtH3318 me out by wayH1870 of the northH6828 gateH8179 and ledH5437 me aroundH5437 3on the outsideH2351 to the outerH2351 gateH8179 by wayH1870 of the gate that facesH6437 eastH6921. And beholdH2009, waterH4325 was tricklingH6379 from the southH3233 sideH3802.

3When the manH376 wentH3318 out toward the eastH6921 with a lineH6957 in his handH3027, he measuredH4058 a thousandH505 cubitsH520, and he ledH5674 me throughH5674 the waterH4325, waterH4325 reaching the anklesH658. 4Again he measuredH4058 a thousandH505 and ledH5674 me throughH5674 the waterH4325, waterH4325 reaching the kneesH1290. Again he measuredH4058 a thousandH505 and ledH5674 me throughH5674 the water, waterH4325 reaching the loinsH4975. 5Again he measuredH4058 a thousandH505; and it was a riverH5158 that I couldH3201 not fordH5674, for the waterH4325 had risenH1342, enough waterH4325 to swimH7813 in, a 4riverH5158 that could not be fordedH5674. 6He saidH559 to me, “SonH1121 of manH120, have you 5seenH7200 this?” Then he broughtH7725 me 6backH7725 to the bankH8193 of the riverH5158. 7Now when I had returnedH7725, beholdH2009, on the bankH8193 of the riverH5158 there were veryH3966 manyH7227 7treesH6086 on the oneH2088 sideH2088 and on the otherH2088. 8Then he saidH559 to me, “TheseH428 watersH4325 goH3318 out towardH413 the easternH6930 regionH1552 and goH3381 downH3381 into the 8ArabahH6160; then they goH935 toward the seaH3220, being made to flowH3318 into the 9seaH3220, and the watersH4325 of the sea becomeH7495 10freshH7495. 9It will comeH1961 about that everyH3605 livingH5315 creatureH5315 whichH834 swarmsH8317 in everyH3605 place whereH834H8033 the 11riverH5158 goesH935, will liveH2421. And there will be veryH3966 manyH7227 fishH1710, for theseH428 watersH4325 goH935 thereH8033 and the others 12becomeH7495 freshH7495; so 13everythingH3605 will liveH2421 whereH834H8033 the riverH5158 goesH935. 10And it will comeH1961 about that 14fishermenH1728 will standH5975 besideH5921 it; from 15EngediH5872 to EneglaimH5882 there will be a placeH4894 for the 16spreadingH4894 of netsH2764. Their fishH1710 will be according to their kindsH4327, like the fishH1710 of the 17GreatH1419 SeaH3220, 18veryH3966 manyH7227. 11But its swampsH1207 and marshesH1207 will not becomeH7495 19freshH7495; they will be 20leftH5414 for 21saltH4417. 1222By the riverH5158 on its bankH8193, on oneH2088 sideH2088 and on the otherH2088, will growH5927 allH3605 kinds of 23treesH6086 for foodH3978. Their 24leavesH5929 will not witherH5034 and their fruitH6529 will not failH8552. They will bearH1069 every monthH2320 becauseH3588 their waterH4325 flowsH3318 from the sanctuaryH4720, and their fruitH6529 will be for foodH3978 and their 25leavesH5929 for healingH8644.”

Boundaries and Division of the Land

13ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 26GodH3068, “ThisH2088 shall be the 27boundaryH1366 by whichH834 you shall divideH5157 the landH776 for an inheritanceH5157 among the twelveH8147H6240 tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478; JosephH3130 shall have twoH8147 28portionsH2256. 14You shall divideH5157 it for an inheritanceH5157, eachH376 oneH376 29equally with the otherH251; for I 3031sworeH5375H3027 to giveH5414 it to your forefathersH1, and thisH2088 landH776 shall fallH5307 to you 32as an inheritanceH5159.

15“ThisH2088 shall be the boundaryH1366 of the landH776: on the 33northH6828 sideH6285, from the GreatH1419 SeaH3220 by the wayH1870 of HethlonH2855, to the entranceH935 of 3435ZedadH6657; 163637HamathH2574, BerothahH1268, SibraimH5453, whichH834 is betweenH996 the borderH1366 of 38DamascusH1834 and the borderH1366 of HamathH2574; Hazer-hatticonH2694, whichH834 is by the borderH1366 of HauranH2362. 17The boundaryH1366 shall 39extendH1961 from the seaH3220 to 40Hazar-enanH2703 at the borderH1366 of DamascusH1834, and on the northH6828 toward the northH6828 is the borderH1366 of HamathH2574. This is the northH6828 sideH6285.

18“The 41eastH6921 sideH6285, from betweenH996 HauranH2362, DamascusH1834, 42GileadH1568 and the landH776 of IsraelH3478, shall be the 43JordanH3383; from the north borderH1366 to the easternH6931 seaH3220 you shall measureH4058. This is the eastH6921 sideH6285.

19“The 44southH5045 sideH6285 toward the southH8486 shall extend from 45TamarH8559 as farH5704 as the watersH4325 of 46Meribath-kadeshH4809H6946, to the 47brookH5158 of Egypt and to the 48GreatH1419 SeaH3220. This is the southH8486 sideH6285 toward the southH5045.

20“The 49westH3220 sideH6285 shall be the GreatH1419 SeaH3220, from the south borderH1366 to a point oppositeH5227 5051Lebo-hamathH935. ThisH2088 is the westH3220 sideH6285.

21“So you shall divideH2505 thisH2088 landH776 among yourselves according to the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478. 22You shall divideH5307 it by 52lotH5307 for an inheritanceH5159 among yourselves and among the 53aliensH1616 who stayH1481 in your midstH8432, whoH834 bringH3205 forthH3205 sonsH1121 in your midstH8432. And they shall be to you as the native-bornH249 among the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; they shall be allottedH5307 an 54inheritanceH5159 with you amongH8432 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478. 23And in the tribeH7626 with whichH834 the alienH1616 staysH1481, thereH8033 you shall giveH5414 him his inheritanceH5159,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.
