^[1] He brought me back to the door of the temple; and behold, waters flowed out from under the threshold of the temple eastward, for the front of the temple faced toward the east. The waters came down from underneath, from the right side of the temple, on the south of the altar. ^[2] Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me around by the way outside to the outer gate, by the way of the gate that looks toward the east. Behold, waters ran out on the right side. ^[3] When the man went out eastward with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits,^ⓘ and he caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the ankles. ^[4] Again he measured one thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the knees. Again he measured one thousand, and caused me to pass through waters that were to the waist. ^[5] Afterward he measured one thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the waters had risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be walked through. ^[6] He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?”Then he brought me and caused me to return to the bank of the river. ^[7] Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other. ^[8] Then he said to me, “These waters flow out toward the eastern region and will go down into the Arabah. Then they will go toward the sea and flow into the sea which will be made to flow out; and the waters will be healed. ^[9] It will happen that every living creature which swarms, in every place where the rivers come, will live. Then there will be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters have come there, and the waters of the sea will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river comes. ^[10] It will happen that fishermen will stand by it. From En Gedi even to En Eglaim will be a place for the spreading of nets. Their fish will be after their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceedingly many. ^[11] But its swamps marshes will not be healed. They will be given up to salt. ^[12] By the river banks, on both sides, will grow every tree for food, whose leaf won’t wither, neither will its fruit fail. It will produce new fruit every month, because its waters issue out of the sanctuary. Its fruit will be for food, and its leaf for healing.” ^[13] The Lord Yahweh says: “This shall be the border by which you shall divide the land for inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph shall have two portions. ^[14] You shall inherit it, one as well as another; for I swore to give it to your fathers. This land will fall to you for inheritance. ^[15] “This shall be the border of the land:“On the north side, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, to the entrance of Zedad; ^[16] Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim (which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath), to Hazer Hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran. ^[17] 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. ^[18] “The east side, between Hauran, Damascus, Gilead, and the land of Israel, shall be the Jordan; from the north border to the east sea you shall measure. This is the east side. ^[19] “The south side southward shall be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meriboth Kadesh, to the brook, to the great sea. This is the south side southward. ^[20] “The west side shall be the great sea, from the south border as far as opposite the entrance of Hamath. This is the west side. ^[21] “So you shall divide this land to yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. ^[22] You shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you and to the aliens who live among you, who will father children among you. Then they shall be to you as the native-born among the children of Israel. They shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. ^[23] In whatever tribe the stranger lives, there you shall give him his inheritance,” says the Lord Yahweh.

^[1] Afterward he brought me againH7725(HiphImpf) unto the doorH6607 of the house;H1004 and, behold, watersH4325 issued outH3318(QalActPtc) from under the thresholdH4670 of the houseH1004 eastward:H6921 for the forefrontH6440 of the houseH1004 [stood toward] the east,H6921 and the watersH4325 came downH3381(QalActPtc) from under from the rightH3233 sideH3802 of the house,H1004 at the southH5045 [side] of the altar.H4196 ^[2] Then brought he me outH3318(HiphImpf) of the wayH1870 of the gateH8179 northward,H6828 and led me aboutH5437(HiphImpf) the wayH1870 without unto the utterH2351 gateH8179 by the wayH1870 that lookethH6437(QalActPtc) eastward;H6921 and, behold, there ran outH6379(PielPtc) watersH4325 on the rightH3233 side.H3802 ^[3] And when the manH376 that had the lineH6957 in his handH3027 went forthH3318(QalInf) eastward,H6921 he measuredH4058(QalImpf) a thousandH505 cubits,H520 and he brought me throughH5674(HiphImpf) the waters;H4325 the watersH4325 [were] to the ankles.H657 ^[4] Again he measuredH4058(QalImpf) a thousand,H505 and brought me throughH5674(HiphImpf) the waters;H4325 the watersH4325 [were] to the knees.H1290 Again he measuredH4058(QalImpf) a thousand,H505 and brought me through;H5674(HiphImpf) the watersH4325 [were] to the loins.H4975 ^[5] Afterward he measuredH4058(QalImpf) a thousand;H505 [and it was] a riverH5158 that I couldH3201(QalImpf) not pass over:H5674(QalInf) for the watersH4325 were risen,H1342(QalPerf) watersH4325 to swim in,H7813 a riverH5158 that could not be passed over.H5674(NiphImpf) ^[6] And he saidH559(QalImpf) unto me, SonH1121 of man,H120 hast thou seenH7200(QalPerf) [this]? Then he broughtH3212(HiphImpf) me, and caused me to returnH7725(HiphImpf) to the brinkH8193 of the river.H5158 ^[7] Now when I had returned,H7725(QalInf) behold, at the bankH8193 of the riverH5158 [were] veryH3966 manyH7227 treesH6086 on the one side and on the other. ^[8] Then saidH559(QalImpf) he unto me, These watersH4325 issue outH3318(QalActPtc) toward the eastH6930 country,H1552 and go downH3381(QalPerf) into the desert,H6160 and goH935(QalPerf) into the sea:H3220 [which being] brought forthH3318(HophPtc) into the sea,H3220 the watersH4325 shall be healed.H7495(NiphPerf) ^[9] And it shall come to pass, [that] every thingH5315 that liveth,H2416 which moveth,H8317(QalImpf) whithersoever the riversH5158 shall come,H935(QalImpf) shall live:H2421(QalImpf) and there shall be a veryH3966 greatH7227 multitude of fish,H1710 because these watersH4325 shall comeH935(QalPerf) thither: for they shall be healed;H7495(NiphImpf) and every thing shall liveH2425(QalPerf) whither the riverH5158 cometh.H935(QalImpf) ^[10] And it shall come to pass, [that] the fishersH1728 shall standH5975(QalPerf/Qere) upon it from EngediH5872 even unto Eneglaim;H5882 they shall be a [place] to spread forthH4894 nets;H2764 their fishH1710 shall be according to their kinds,H4327 as the fishH1710 of the greatH1419 sea,H3220 exceedingH3966 many.H7227 ^[11] But the miry placesH1207 thereof and the marishesH1360 thereof shall not be healed;H7495(NiphImpf) they shall be givenH5414(NiphPerf) to salt.H4417 ^[12] And by the riverH5158 upon the bankH8193 thereof, on this side and on that side, shall growH5927(QalImpf) all treesH6086 for meat,H3978 whose leafH5929 shall not fade,H5034(QalImpf) neither shall the fruitH6529 thereof be consumed:H8552(QalImpf) it shall bring forth new fruitH1069(PielImpf) according to his months,H2320 because their watersH4325 they issued outH3318(QalActPtc) of the sanctuary:H4720 and the fruitH6529 thereof shall be for meat,H3978 and the leafH5929 thereof for medicine.H8644 ^[13] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH136 God;H3069 ThisH1454 [shall be] the border,H1366 whereby ye shall inheritH5157(HithImpf) the landH776 according to the twelveH8147 tribesH7626 of Israel:H3478 JosephH3130 [shall have two] portions.H2256 ^[14] And ye shall inheritH5157(QalPerf) it, oneH376 as well as another:H251 [concerning] the which I lifted upH5375(QalPerf) mine handH3027 to giveH5414(QalInf) it unto your fathers:H1 and this landH776 shall fallH5307(QalPerf) unto you for inheritance.H5159 ^[15] And this [shall be] the borderH1366 of the landH776 toward the northH6828 side,H6285 from the greatH1419 sea,H3220 the wayH1870 of Hethlon,H2855 as men goH935(QalInf) to Zedad;H6657 ^[16] Hamath,H2574 Berothah,H1268 Sibraim,H5453 which [is] between the borderH1366 of DamascusH1834 and the borderH1366 of Hamath;H2574 Hazarhatticon,H2694 which [is] by the coastH1366 of Hauran.H2362 ^[17] And the borderH1366 from the seaH3220 shall be Hazarenan,H2703 the borderH1366 of Damascus,H1834 and the northH6828 northward,H6828 and the borderH1366 of Hamath.H2574 And [this is] the northH6828 side.H6285 ^[18] And the eastH6921 sideH6285 ye shall measureH4058(QalImpf) fromH996 Hauran,H2362 and fromH996 Damascus,H1834 and fromH996 Gilead,H1568 and fromH996 the landH776 of IsraelH3478 [by] Jordan,H3383 from the borderH1366 unto the eastH6931 sea.H3220 And [this is] the eastH6921 side.H6285 ^[19] And the southH5045 sideH6285 southward,H8486 from TamarH8559 [even] to the watersH4325 of strifeH4808(QK) [in] Kadesh,H6946 the riverH5158 to the greatH1419 sea.H3220 And [this is] the southH8486 sideH6285 southward.H5045 ^[20] The westH3220 sideH6285 also [shall be] the greatH1419 seaH3220 from the border,H1366 till a man comeH935(QalInf) over againstH5227 Hamath.H2574 This [is] the westH3220 side.H6285 ^[21] So shall ye divideH2505(PielPerf) this landH776 unto you according to the tribesH7626 of Israel.H3478 ^[22] And it shall come to pass, [that] ye shall divide it by lotH5307(HiphImpf) for an inheritanceH5159 unto you, and to the strangersH1616 that sojournH1481(QalActPtc) amongH8432 you, which shall begetH3205(HiphPerf) childrenH1121 amongH8432 you: and they shall be unto you as bornH249 in the countryH249 among the childrenH1121 of Israel;H3478 they shall haveH5307(QalImpf) inheritanceH5159 with you amongH8432 the tribesH7626 of Israel.H3478 ^[23] And it shall come to pass, [that] in what tribeH7626 the strangerH1616 sojourneth,H1481(QalPerf) there shall ye giveH5414(QalImpf) [him] his inheritance,H5159 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the LordH136 God.H3069
