Ezekiel 47:1-9
1Afterward he brought me againH7725 unto the doorH6607 of the houseH1004; and, behold, watersH4325 issued outH3318 from under the thresholdH4670 of the houseH1004 eastwardH6921: for the forefrontH6440 of the houseH1004 stood toward the eastH6921, and the watersH4325 came downH3381 from under from the rightH3233 sideH3802 of the houseH1004, at the southH5045 side of the altarH4196. 2Then brought he me outH3318 of the wayH1870 of the gateH8179 northwardH6828, and led me aboutH5437 the wayH1870 without unto the utterH2351 gateH8179 by the wayH1870 that lookethH6437 eastwardH6921; and, behold, there ran outH6379 watersH4325 on the rightH3233 sideH3802. 3And when the manH376 that had the lineH6957 in his handH3027 went forthH3318 eastwardH6921, he measuredH4058 a thousandH505 cubitsH520, and he brought me throughH5674 the watersH4325; the watersH4325 were to the anklesH657.1 4Again he measuredH4058 a thousandH505, and brought me throughH5674 the watersH4325; the watersH4325 were to the kneesH1290. Again he measuredH4058 a thousandH505, and brought me throughH5674; the watersH4325 were to the loinsH4975. 5Afterward he measuredH4058 a thousandH505; and it was a riverH5158 that I couldH3201 not pass overH5674: for the watersH4325 were risenH1342, watersH4325 to swim inH7813, a riverH5158 that could not be passed overH5674.2
6And he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, hast thou seenH7200 this? Then he broughtH3212 me, and caused me to returnH7725 to the brinkH8193 of the riverH5158. 7Now when I had returnedH7725, behold, at the bankH8193 of the riverH5158 were veryH3966 manyH7227 treesH6086 on the one side and on the other.3 8Then saidH559 he unto me, These watersH4325 issue outH3318 toward the eastH6930 countryH1552, and go downH3381 into the desertH6160, and goH935 into the seaH3220: which being brought forthH3318 into the seaH3220, the watersH4325 shall be healedH7495.4 9And it shall come to pass, that every thingH5315 that livethH2416, which movethH8317, whithersoever the riversH5158 shall comeH935, shall liveH2421: and there shall be a veryH3966 greatH7227 multitude of fishH1710, because these watersH4325 shall comeH935 thither: for they shall be healedH7495; and every thing shall liveH2425 whither the riverH5158 comethH935.5
