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. 2And he broughtH3318 me outH3318 by wayH1870 of the northH6828 gateH8179 and ledH5437 me aroundH5437 3on the outsideH2351 to the outerH2351 gateH8179, by the wayH1870 facingH6437 eastH6921. And beholdH2009, waterH4325 was spurtingH6379 outH6379 from the southH3233 sideH3802.

3When the manH376 wentH3318 outH3318 toward the eastH6921 with a lineH6957 in his handH3027, he measuredH4058 a thousandH505 4cubitsH520, and he ledH5674 me through the waterH4325, waterH4325 reaching the anklesH658. 4Again he measuredH4058 a thousandH505 and ledH5674 me through the waterH4325, waterH4325 reaching the kneesH1290. Again he measuredH4058 a thousandH505 and ledH5674 me through the water, waterH4325 reaching the 5hipsH4975. 5Again he measuredH4058 a thousandH505; and it was a riverH5158 that I couldH3201 not 6wadeH5674 acrossH5674, becauseH3588 the waterH4325 had risenH1342, enough waterH4325 to swimH7813 in, a 7riverH5158 that could not be crossedH5674 by wading. 6And he saidH559 to me, “SonH1121 of manH120, have you 8seenH7200 this?” Then he broughtH7725 me 9backH7725 to the bankH8193 of the riverH5158. 7Now when I had returnedH7725, beholdH2009, on the bankH8193 of the riverH5158 there were veryH3966 manyH7227 10treesH6086 on the oneH2088 sideH2088 and on the otherH2088. 8Then he saidH559 to me, “TheseH428 watersH4325 goH3318 outH3318 towardH413 the easternH6930 regionH1552 and goH3381 downH3381 into the 11ArabahH6160; then they goH935 toward the 12seaH3220, being made to flowH3318 into the 13seaH3220, and the watersH4325 of the sea becomeH7495 14freshH7495. 9And it will comeH1961 aboutH1961 that everyH3605 livingH5315 creatureH5315 whichH834 swarmsH8317 in everyH3605 place whereH834H8033 the 15riverH5158 goesH935, will liveH2421. And there will be veryH3966 manyH7227 fishH1710, for theseH428 watersH4325 goH935 thereH8033 and the others 16becomeH7495 freshH7495; so 17everythingH3605 will liveH2421 whereH834H8033 the riverH5158 goesH935. 10And it will comeH1961 aboutH1961 that 18fishermenH1728 will standH5975 besideH5921 it; from 19EngediH5872 to EneglaimH5882 there will be a placeH4894 forH4894 theH4894 20spreadingH4894 of netsH2764. Their fishH1710 will be according to their kindsH4327, like the fishH1710 of the 21GreatH1419 SeaH3220, 22veryH3966 manyH7227. 11But its swampsH1207 and marshesH1360 will not becomeH7495 23freshH7495; they will be 24leftH5414 for 25saltH4417. 12And 26by the riverH5158 on its bankH8193, on oneH2088 sideH2088 and on the otherH2088, will growH5927 allH3605 kinds of 27treesH6086 for foodH3978. Their 28leavesH5929 will not witherH5034 and their fruitH6529 will not failH8552. They will bearH1069 fruitH1069 every monthH2320 becauseH3588 their waterH4325 flowsH3318 from the sanctuaryH4720, and their fruitH6529 will be for foodH3978 and their 29leavesH5929 for healingH8644.”

Boundaries and Division of the Land

13ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 30GodH3068 saysH559: “ThisH2088 shall be the 31boundaryH1366 by whichH834 you shall divideH5157 the landH776 forH5157 anH5157 inheritanceH5157 among the twelveH8147H6240 tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478; JosephH3130 shall have twoH8147 32portionsH2256. 14And you shall divideH5157 it forH5157 anH5157 inheritanceH5157, eachH376 oneH376 33equally with the otherH251; for I 3435sworeH5375H3027 to giveH5414 it to your forefathersH1, and thisH2088 landH776 shall fallH5307 to you 36as an inheritanceH5159.

15“And thisH2088 shall be the boundaryH1366 of the landH776: on the 37northH6828 sideH6285, from the GreatH1419 SeaH3220 by the wayH1870 of HethlonH2855, to the entranceH935 of 3839ZedadH6657; 164041HamathH2574, BerothahH1268, SibraimH5453, whichH834 is betweenH996 the borderH1366 of 42DamascusH1834 and the borderH1366 of HamathH2574; Hazer-hatticonH2694, whichH834 is by the borderH1366 of HauranH2362. 17The boundaryH1366 shall 43extendH1961 from the seaH3220 to 44Hazar-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 45eastH6921 sideH6285, from betweenH996 HauranH2362, DamascusH1834, 46GileadH1568, and the landH776 of IsraelH3478, shall be the 47JordanH3383; from the north borderH1366 to the easternH6931 seaH3220 you shall measureH4058. This is the eastH6921 sideH6285.

19“The 48southH5045 sideH6285 toward the southH8486 shall extend from 49TamarH8559 as farH5704 as the watersH4325 of 50Meribath-kadeshH4809H6946, to the 51brookH5158 of Egypt and to the 52GreatH1419 SeaH3220. This is the southH8486 sideH6285 toward the southH5045.

20“And the 53westH3220 sideH6285 shall be the GreatH1419 SeaH3220, from the south borderH1366 to a point oppositeH5227 5455Lebo-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 byH5307 56lotH5307 for an inheritanceH5159 among yourselves and among the 57strangersH1616 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 58inheritanceH5159 with you amongH8432 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478. 23And in the tribeH7626 with whichH834 the strangerH1616 residesH1481, thereH8033 you shall giveH5414 him his inheritanceH5159,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.
