Ezekiel 47
Revised Webster's Bible
1Afterward he brought me againH7725 to the doorH6607 of the houseH1004; and, behold, watersH4325 issued outH3318 from under the thresholdH4670 of the houseH1004 eastwardH6921: for the frontH6440 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 he brought me outH3318 of the wayH1870 of the gateH8179 northwardH6828, and led me aboutH5437 the wayH1870 outside to the outerH2351 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 had risenH1342, watersH4325 to swim inH7813, a riverH5158 that could not be passed overH5674.2 6And he saidH559 to 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 to 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, wherever the riversH5158 shall comeH935, shall liveH2421: and there shall be a veryH3966 greatH7227 multitude of fishH1710, because these watersH4325 shall comeH935 there: for they shall be healedH7495; and every thing shall liveH2425 where the riverH5158 comethH935.5 10And it shall come to pass, that the fishermenH1728 shall standH5975 upon it from EngediH5872 even to EneglaimH5882; they shall be a place to spread forthH4894 netsH2764; their fishH1710 shall be according to their kindsH4327, as the fishH1710 of the greatH1419 seaH3220, veryH3966 manyH7227. 11But its miry placesH1207 and its marshesH1360 shall not be healedH7495; they shall be givenH5414 to saltH4417.6 12And by the riverH5158 upon its bankH8193, on this side and on that side, shall growH5927 all treesH6086 for foodH3978, whose leafH5929 shall not fadeH5034, neither shall its fruitH6529 be consumedH8552: it shall bring forth new fruitH1069 according to its monthsH2320, because their watersH4325 they issued outH3318 of the sanctuaryH4720: and its fruitH6529 shall be for foodH3978, and its leafH5929 for medicineH8644.789
13Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; ThisH1454 shall be the borderH1366, by which ye shall inheritH5157 the landH776 according to the twelveH8147H6240 tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478: JosephH3130 shall have two portionsH2256. 14And ye shall inheritH5157 it, oneH376 as well as anotherH251: concerning which I lifted upH5375 my handH3027 to giveH5414 it to your fathersH1: and this landH776 shall fallH5307 to you for inheritanceH5159.10 15And this shall be the borderH1366 of the landH776 toward the northH6828 sideH6285, from the greatH1419 seaH3220, the wayH1870 of HethlonH2855, as men goH935 to ZedadH6657; 16HamathH2574, BerothahH1268, SibraimH5453, which is between the borderH1366 of DamascusH1834 and the borderH1366 of HamathH2574; HazarhatticonH2694, which is by the borderH1366 of HauranH2362.11 17And the borderH1366 from the seaH3220 shall be HazarenanH2703, the borderH1366 of DamascusH1834, and the northH6828 northwardH6828, and the borderH1366 of HamathH2574. And this is the northH6828 sideH6285. 18And the eastH6921 sideH6285 ye shall measureH4058 fromH996 HauranH2362, and fromH996 DamascusH1834, and fromH996 GileadH1568, and fromH996 the landH776 of IsraelH3478 by JordanH3383, from the borderH1366 to the eastH6931 seaH3220. And this is the eastH6921 sideH6285.12 19And the southH5045 sideH6285 southwardH8486, from TamarH8559 even to the watersH4325 of strifeH4808H4809 in KadeshH6946, the riverH5158 to the greatH1419 seaH3220. And this is the southH8486 sideH6285 southwardH5045.131415 20The westH3220 sideH6285 also shall be the greatH1419 seaH3220 from the borderH1366, till a man comethH935 oppositeH5227 HamathH2574. This is the westH3220 sideH6285. 21So shall ye divideH2505 this landH776 to you according to the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478. 22And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divideH5307 it by lot for an inheritanceH5159 to you, and to the strangersH1616 that sojournH1481 amongH8432 you, who shall begetH3205 childrenH1121 amongH8432 you: and they shall be to you as bornH249 in the countryH249 among the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; they shall haveH5307 inheritanceH5159 with you amongH8432 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478. 23And it shall come to pass, that in what tribeH7626 the strangerH1616 sojournethH1481, there shall ye giveH5414 him his inheritanceH5159, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
