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
.
Then brought he me out of the way
of the gate
northward
, and led me about
the way
without unto the utter
gate
by the way
that looketh
eastward
; and, behold, there ran out
waters
on the right
side
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
And he said unto me, Son
of man
, hast thou seen
this ? Then he brought
me, and caused me to return
to the brink
of the river
.
Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank
of the river
were very
many
trees
on the one side and on the other.
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
.
And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth
, which moveth
, whithersoever the rivers
shall come
, shall live
: and there shall be a very
great
multitude of fish
, because these waters
shall come
thither: for they shall be healed
; and every thing shall live
whither the river
cometh
.
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
.
But the miry places thereof and the marishes
thereof shall not be healed
; they shall be given
to salt
.
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
.
Thus saith the Lord
GOD
; This
shall be the border
, whereby ye shall inherit
the land
according to the twelve
tribes
of Israel
: Joseph
shall have two portions
.
And ye shall inherit it, one
as well as another
: concerning the which I lifted up
mine hand
to give
it unto your fathers
: and this land
shall fall
unto you for inheritance
.
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
;
Hamath, Berothah
, Sibraim
, which is between the border
of Damascus
and the border
of Hamath
; Hazarhatticon
, which is by the coast
of Hauran
.
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
.
And the east side
ye 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
.
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
.
The west side
also shall be the great
sea
from the border
, till a man come
over against
Hamath
. This is the west
side
.
So shall ye divide this land
unto you according to 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, 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
.
And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger
sojourneth
, there shall ye give
him his inheritance
, saith
the Lord
GOD
.
