Ezekiel

Chapter 47

1 Afterward he brought me again 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 stood toward the east,
and the waters came down from under
from the right side of the house,
at the south side of the altar.

2 Then he brought me out of the way of the gate northward,
and led me about the way without unto the utter gate
by the way that looks eastward;
and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.

3 And when the man that had the line in his hand
went forth eastward,
he measured a thousand cubits,
and he brought me through the waters;
 the waters were to the ankles.

4 Again he measured a thousand,
and brought me through the waters;
the waters were to the knees.

Again he measured a thousand,
and brought me through;
the waters were to the loins.

5 Afterward he measured a thousand;
and it was a river that I could not pass over
for the waters were risen,
waters to swim in,
a river that could not be passed over.

6 And he said unto me,
"Son of man, have you seen this?"

Then he brought me,
and caused me to return to the brink of the river.

7 Now when I had returned, behold,
at the bank of the river were very many trees
on the one side and on the other.

8 Then said he unto me,
"These waters issue out toward the east country,
and go down into the desert,
and go into the sea
which being brought forth into the sea,
the waters shall be healed.

9 And it shall come to pass,
that every thing that lives,
which moves,
whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live.

And there shall be a very great multitude of fish,
because these waters shall come there
for they shall be healed.

And every thing shall live where the river comes.

10 And it shall come to pass,
that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim.

They shall be a place to spread forth nets.

Their fish shall be according to their kinds,
as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.

11 But the miry places thereof and the marshes thereof
shall not be healed.

They shall be given to salt.

12 And by the river upon the bank thereof,
on this side and on that side,
shall grow all trees for meat,
whose leaf shall not fade,
neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed.

It shall bring forth new fruit according to his months,
because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary
and the fruit thereof shall be for meat,
and the leaf thereof for medicine.

13 Thus said the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah,
"This shall be the border,
whereby you shall inherit the land
according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

 Joseph shall have two portions. 14

And you shall inherit it,
one as well as another
concerning the which I lifted up my hand to give it unto your fathers
and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance. 15

And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side,
from the great sea,
the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad 16
Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim,
which is between the border of Damascus
and the border of Hamath . . .
Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran. 17

And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan,
the border of Damascus,
and the north northward,
and the border of Hamath.

And this is the north side. 18

And the east side you shall measure from Hauran,
and from Damascus,
and from Gilead,
and from the land of Israel by Jordan,
from the border unto the east sea.

And this is the east side. 19

And the south side southward,
from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh,
the river to the great sea.

And this is the south side southward.

20 The west side also shall be the great sea from the border,
till a man come over against Hamath.

This is the west side.

21 So shall you divide this land unto you
according to the tribes of Israel.

22 And it shall come to pass,
that you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you,

and to the strangers that sojourn among you,
which shall beget children among you.

And they shall be unto you as born in the country
among the children of Israel;
they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

23 And it shall come to pass,
that in what tribe the stranger sojourns,
there shall you give him his inheritance,"
said the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah.
