Ezekiel 47:3-5

3When the manH376 wentH3318 outH3318 toward the eastH6921 with a lineH6957 in his handH3027, he measuredH4058 a thousandH505 1cubitsH520, 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 2hipsH4975.

5Again he measuredH4058 a thousandH505; and it was a riverH5158 that I couldH3201 not 3wadeH5674 acrossH5674, becauseH3588 the waterH4325 had risenH1342, enough waterH4325 to swimH7813 in, a 4riverH5158 that could not be crossedH5674 by wading.
