Ezekiel 47:5-12

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 overH5674.1

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.2 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 healedH7495.3 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 comethH935.4 10And it shall come to pass, that the fishersH1728 shall standH5975 upon it from En–gediH5872 even unto En–eglaimH5882; they shall be a place to spread forthH4894 netsH2764; their fishH1710 shall be according to their kindsH4327, as the fishH1710 of the greatH1419 seaH3220, exceedingH3966 manyH7227. 11But the miry placesH1207 thereof and the marishesH1360 thereof shall not be healedH7495; they shall be givenH5414 to saltH4417.5 12And by the riverH5158 upon the bankH8193 thereof, on this side and on that side, shall growH5927 all treesH6086 for meatH3978, whose leafH5929 shall not fadeH5034, neither shall the fruitH6529 thereof be consumedH8552: it shall bring forth new fruitH1069 according to his monthsH2320, because their watersH4325 they issued outH3318 of the sanctuaryH4720: and the fruitH6529 thereof shall be for meatH3978, and the leafH5929 thereof for medicineH8644.678
