Ezekiel 47

CHAPTER 47 The Healing Waters from the House

1 And he brought me unto the thresholds of the house; and behold, water went forth from beneath the open space of the house according to the east, for the front of the house looked according to the east. And the water went down from the south of the house of the right upon the south of the altar. 2 And he led me according to the way of the gate, of the one towards the north; and he led me by the way outside to the gate of the courtyard, of the one looking according to the east; and behold, the water carried down from the [²side ¹right]. 3 And there was [²exiting ¹a man] right opposite there; and a measure was in his hand; and he measured a thousand. 4 And he went through in the water, the water of release, and he measured a thousand, and he went through the water unto the knees. And he measured a thousand, and he went through the water unto his loin. 5 And he measured a thousand, and he was not able to go through any more, for [³overflowed ¹the ²water] as the impetus of a rushing stream of which shall not be passed over. 6 And he said to me, Do you see, O son of man? And he led me, and returned me unto the edge of the river. 7 In my turning, and behold, upon the edge of the river were [³trees ²many ¹exceedingly] on this side and that side. 8 And he said to me, This water going forth unto Galilee, the one towards the east, and goes down unto Arabia, and comes as far as unto the sea, unto the water of the outlet, and it shall heal the waters. 9 And it will be every life of the living creatures of the ones swarming upon all upon which ever [³should come ⁴there ¹the ²river] shall live. And there will be there [³fishes ²many ¹exceedingly]; for [³is come ⁴there ²water ¹this], and it shall heal and shall enliven. Everything upon which ever [³should come ¹the ²river] there shall live. 10 And [²shall stand ³there ¹fishermen] from En-gedi unto En-eglaim. [²a refreshing ³of dragnets ¹It will be for]. [²by ³itself ¹It will be], and its fishes will be as the fishes of the [²sea ¹great], [³multitude ²great ¹an exceedingly]. 11 And in its outlet, and in its turning, and in its overflowing, in no way shall they heal, [²for ³salt ¹they have been given]. 12 And by the river shall ascend by its edge on this side and that side every [²tree ¹eatable]; in no way shall anything be old upon it, nor shall [²fail ¹its fruit] of the newness of it -- it shall put forth first; for their waters are of the holy place. These waters go forth, and [²will be ¹their fruit] for food, and their ascending parts for health.

The Borders of the Land

13 Thus says the lord God; These are the borders you shall inherit of the land for the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel, an addition of a piece of measured land. 14 And you shall inherit it, each as his brother in which I lifted my hand to give to their fathers; and [³shall fall ²land ¹this] to you by inheritance. 15 And these are the borders of the land of the one towards the north, from the [²sea ¹great], the way Hethlon of the entrance of Zedad; 16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, the places between the limits of Damascus and between the limits of Hamath, the courtyards of Hatticon, which are upon the limits of Hauran. 17 These are the borders from the sea, from the courtyard of Enan, the limits of Damascus, and the places towards the north, and the limits of Hamath the places towards the north. 18 And the places towards the east between Hauran, and between Damascus, and between Gilead, and between the land of Israel, the Jordan separates unto the sea the one towards the east of Palm-grove; these are the borders towards the east. 19 And these are the borders towards the south and southwest from Teman, and Palm-grove unto the water of Mariboth Kadesh, reaching forth unto the [²sea ¹great] -- this part is the south and southwest. 20 This part of the [²sea ¹great] defines the bounds unto before the entrance of Hamath, unto its entrance. These are the borders towards the west. 21 And you shall divide this land to them, to the tribes of Israel. 22 You shall cast it by lot to yourself, and to the foreigners sojourning in your midst, whomever engendered sons in your midst. And they will be yours as native-born among the sons of Israel; with you they shall eat by inheritance in the midst of the tribes of Israel. 23 And they will be in the tribe of converts among the converts, the ones with them. There you shall give an inheritance to them, says the lord God.
