Then
the
man
brought me back to
the entrance
of the temple,
and I
saw
water
flowing
from under the threshold of the temple
toward
the
east
(for the temple
faced
east) .
The water
was
coming
down from under the south
side of the temple
, south of the altar.
And
he
brought me back unto
the door
of the house;
and ,
behold,
waters
issued
out
from under the threshold of the house
eastward;
(for the forefront
of
the
house
was
toward
the
east ;
) and
the waters
came
down from under ,
from
the right
side of the house
, on
the
south of the altar.
Next
he brought me out through
the north
gate and led me around
the outside
to
the outer gate facing
east
, and there I
saw
the
water
trickling
out from
the south
side.
Then
he brought me out by
the way
of
the
gate northward,
and led me round
by
the way
without
unto
the outer gate, by
the
way
of
`the
gate'
that
looketh
toward
the
east;
and ,
behold,
there ran
out waters
on
the right
side.
As
the man went eastward with a
measuring
line in his hand, he measured off
a thousand cubits and led
me through ankle-deep
water
.
When
the man went forth
eastward with the
line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits ,
and he
caused
me to
pass
through the
waters,
waters
that
were
to
the
ankles
.
Then
he measured off
a thousand cubits
and led
me through knee-deep
water
. Again he measured a thousand cubits
and led
me through waist-deep
water
.
Again
he measured a thousand ,
and caused
me to
pass
through the
waters,
waters
that
were
to
the
knees
. Again he measured a thousand ,
and caused
me to
pass
through `the
waters',
waters
that
were
to
the
loins
.
Once
again
he measured off
a thousand cubits,
but
now
it was a river that I could not cross,
because
the water
had
risen and
was
deep
enough
for
swimming—
a river that could not be crossed
on
foot
.
Afterward
he measured a thousand ;
`and
it was '
a river that I could not pass
through;
for
the waters
were
risen ,
waters
to
swim
in,
a river that could not be passed
through
.
“
Son of man, do
you
see
this? ”
he
asked.
Then he led
me back
to the bank of the river.
And
he
said
unto
me,
Son of man, hast
thou
seen
`
this '
? Then he brought
me ,
and
caused
me
to return
to
the bank of the river.
When I arrived
, I
saw
a
great
number
of
trees
along
both
banks
of the river.
Now
when I had
returned
, behold,
upon
the
bank
of the river were
very
many
trees
on
the
one
side
and
on
the
other
.
And
he
said to
me, “This
water
flows
out
to
the eastern region and goes
down into the Arabah .
When
it
empties
into the Sea ,
the water
there
becomes
fresh
.
Then
said he
unto
me, These
waters
issue
forth
toward
the eastern region ,
and shall
go
down into the Arabah ;
and
they
shall
go
toward
the
sea;
into the sea `shall
the waters
go'
which
were
made
to
issue
forth;
and
the
waters
shall
be
healed
.
Wherever
the river
flows
, there will
be swarms
of
living
creatures
and
a great number
of fish, because
it
flows
there
and makes
the waters fresh;
so
wherever
the river
flows
, everything will
flourish
.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
every
living
creature
which
swarmeth,
in
every
place
whither
the rivers
come
, shall
live;
and
there shall
be a very
great multitude
of fish ;
for
these
waters
are
come
thither
, and `
the waters of
the sea'
shall
be
healed
, and
everything shall
live
whithersoever
the
river
cometh
.
Fishermen
will
stand by the
shore;
from En-gedi to
En-eglaim they
will
spread
their
nets to
catch
fish of
many
kinds, like
the fish of the Great Sea.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
fishers
shall
stand by it:
from En-gedi even
unto
En-eglaim shall
be
a
place
for
the
spreading
of
nets ;
their
fish shall
be
after
their
kinds, as
the fish of the great sea ,
exceeding
many
.
But the swamps
and marshes will
not become
fresh
; they will
be left
for
salt.
But the miry
places
thereof,
and the
marshes thereof,
shall
not be
healed
; they shall
be given
up
to
salt.
Along
both
banks
of
the river, fruit
trees
of
all
kinds
will
grow .
Their
leaves
will
not wither
, and
their
fruit will
not
fail .
Each
month
they
will
bear
fruit, because the water
from
the sanctuary flows
to
them.
Their
fruit will
be used
for food and their
leaves
for healing. ”
And
by
the river upon
the
bank
thereof
, on
this
side
and
on
that
side,
shall
grow every
tree
for
food,
whose
leaf
shall
not whither
, neither
shall
the
fruit thereof
fail :
it
shall
bring
forth
new
fruit every
month
, because the waters
thereof
issue
out
of
the sanctuary ;
and
the
fruit thereof
shall
be for food ,
and the
leaf
thereof
for healing.
This
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: “These
are
the boundaries
by
which
you
are
to
divide the land as
an
inheritance among
the twelve tribes of Israel ;
Joseph shall receive
two portions.
Thus
saith
the Lord Jehovah
: This
shall
be
the border,
whereby
ye
shall
divide the land for
inheritance according
to
the twelve tribes of Israel :
Joseph `
shall have
two '
portions.
You
are
to
divide
it equally
among
them.
Because
I swore
with
an
uplifted
hand
to give it to
your forefathers,
this land will
fall to
you as
an
inheritance.
And
ye
shall
inherit
it ,
one
as
well
as
another;
for
I sware
to give it unto
your fathers:
and
this land shall
fall unto
you for
inheritance.
This shall be the boundary
of the land: On the north side it
will
extend
from the Great Sea by way of Hethlon through
Lebo-hamath
to
Zedad
,
And
this shall be the border
of the land: On the north side ,
from the great sea ,
by the
way of Hethlon, unto
the
entrance
of
Zedad;
Berothah, and
Sibraim (
which is on
the border between
Damascus and Hamath ),
as
far
as
Hazer-hatticon, which is on
the border of Hauran.
Hamath,
Berothah, Sibraim ,
which is between
the border of
Damascus and the
border
of
Hamath ;
Hazer-hatticon, which is by
the border of Hauran.
So
the border will
run
from the Sea to
Hazar- enan,
along
the northern
border of Damascus ,
with
the territory
of Hamath to
the
north
. This will
be
the northern
boundary
.
And
the border from the sea ,
shall
be
Hazar- enon
at
the border of Damascus ;
and
on
the north
northward
is
the
border
of Hamath. This is
the north
side
.
On
the east side the
border
will
run
between Hauran and Damascus ,
along
the
Jordan
between
Gilead and the land of Israel, to
the Eastern
Sea and
as
far
as
Tamar
. This will
be
the eastern
boundary
.
And
the east side ,
between Hauran and Damascus and
Gilead ,
and the land of Israel, shall
be
the Jordan;
from
the
`north'
border
unto
the
east
sea shall
ye
measure
. This is
the east
side
.
On
the south side it
will
run
from Tamar to
the waters of Meribath
-kadesh, and
along
the Brook of Egypt to
the Great Sea. This will
be
the southern
boundary
.
And
the south side southward
shall
be
from Tamar as
far
as
the waters of Meriboth
-kadesh, to
the brook `
of Egypt ',
unto
the great sea. This is
the south
side
southward
.
And on
the west side ,
the Great Sea will
be
the boundary
up
to
a
point
opposite
Lebo-
hamath. This will
be
the western
boundary
.
And the west side shall
be
the great sea ,
from
the `south'
border
as
far
as
over
against
the
entrance
of
Hamath. This is
the west
side
.
You
are
to
divide this land among
yourselves
according to the tribes of Israel.
So
shall
ye
divide this land unto
you
according to the tribes of Israel.
You
shall allot
it as
an inheritance for
yourselves
and for
the foreigners
who
dwell
among you and
who have
children .
You are
to
treat
them
as native
-born Israelites
; along
with
you,
they shall be
allotted
an
inheritance among the tribes of Israel.
And
it
shall come
to
pass,
that
ye
shall
divide
it by
lot
for
an inheritance unto
you
and to
the strangers
that
sojourn
among you ,
who shall
beget
children among
you ;
and
they
shall
be
unto
you
as the
home
-born among
the
children
of
Israel
; they shall have
inheritance with
you
among the tribes of Israel.
In whatever
tribe a
foreigner
dwells
, you
are
to
assign
his inheritance there
, ”
declares
the Lord GOD
.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
in what
tribe the
stranger
sojourneth
, there
shall
ye
give
him
his inheritance, saith
the Lord Jehovah
.
