¹ Afterward he brought me again to the door of the house; and, see, 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 brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without to the utter gate by the way that looks eastward; and, see, there ran out waters on the right side. ³ And when the man that had the line in his hand went forward 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 to 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, see, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other. ⁸ Then said he to me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forward into the sea, the waters will be healed. ⁹ And it will come to pass, that every thing that lives, which moves, wherever the rivers will come, will live: and there will be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters will come there: for they will be healed; and every thing will live where the river comes. ¹⁰ And it will come to pass, that the fishers will stand on it from Engedi even to Eneglaim; they will be a place to spread forward nets; their fish will be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many. ¹¹ But the miry places of it and the marishes of it will not be healed they will be given to salt. ¹² And by the river on the bank of it, on this side and on that side, will grow all trees for meat, whose leaf will not fade, neither will the fruit of it be consumed: it will bring forward new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit of it will be for meat, and the leaf of it for medicine. ¹³ So says the Lord GOD; This will be the border, through which you will inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph will have two portions. ¹⁴ And you will inherit it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to your fathers: and this land will fall to you for inheritance. ¹⁵ And this will 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 will 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 will measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border to 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 will be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side. ²¹ So will you divide this land to you according to the tribes of Israel. ²² And it will come to pass, that you will divide it by lot for an inheritance to you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which will beget children among you: and they will be to you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they will have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. ²³ And it will come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourns, there will you give him his inheritance, says the Lord GOD.
