Ezekiel 47:1-5

1Then he brought me back to the 1door of the house; and behold, 2water was flowing from under the threshold of the house toward the east, for the house faced east. And the water was flowing down from under, from the right side of the house, from south of the altar. 2And he brought me out by way of the north gate and led me around 3on the outside to the outer gate, by the way facing east. And behold, water was spurting out from the south side.

3When the man went out toward the east with a line in his hand, he measured a thousand 4cubits, and he led me through the water, water reaching the ankles. 4Again he measured a thousand and led me through the water, water reaching the knees. Again he measured a thousand and led me through the water, water reaching the 5hips. 5Again he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not 6wade across, because the water had risen, enough water to swim in, a 7river that could not be crossed by wading.
