[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.

The River of Life

[1] Afterward he brought me again H7725 (HiphImpf) unto the door H6607 of the house; H1004 and, behold, waters H4325 issued out H3318 (QalActPtc) from under the threshold H4670 of the house H1004 eastward: H6921 for the forefront H6440 of the house H1004 stood toward the east, H6921 and the waters H4325 came down H3381 (QalActPtc) from under from the right H3233 side H3802 of the house, H1004 at the south H5045 side of the altar. H4196 [2] Then brought he me out H3318 (HiphImpf) of the way H1870 of the gate H8179 northward, H6828 and led me about H5437 (HiphImpf) the way H1870 without unto the utter H2351 gate H8179 by the way H1870 that looketh H6437 (QalActPtc) eastward; H6921 and, behold, there ran out H6379 (PielPtc) waters H4325 on the right H3233 side. H3802 [3] And when the man H376 that had the line H6957 in his hand H3027 went forth H3318 (QalInf) eastward, H6921 he measured H4058 (QalImpf) a thousand H505 cubits, H520 and he brought me through H5674 (HiphImpf) the waters; H4325 the waters H4325 were to the ankles. H657 [4] Again he measured H4058 (QalImpf) a thousand, H505 and brought me through H5674 (HiphImpf) the waters; H4325 the waters H4325 were to the knees. H1290 Again he measured H4058 (QalImpf) a thousand, H505 and brought me through; H5674 (HiphImpf) the waters H4325 were to the loins. H4975 [5] Afterward he measured H4058 (QalImpf) a thousand; H505 and it was a river H5158 that I could H3201 (QalImpf) not pass over: H5674 (QalInf) for the waters H4325 were risen, H1342 (QalPerf) waters H4325 to swim§ in, H7813 a river H5158 that could not be passed over. H5674 (NiphImpf) [6] And he said H559 (QalImpf) unto me, Son H1121 of man, H120 hast thou seen H7200 (QalPerf) this? Then he brought H3212 (HiphImpf) me, and caused me to return H7725 (HiphImpf) to the brink H8193 of the river. H5158 [7] Now when I had returned, H7725 (QalInf) behold, at the bank H8193§ of the river H5158 were very H3966 many H7227 trees H6086 on the one side and on the other. [8] Then said H559 (QalImpf) he unto me, These waters H4325 issue out H3318 (QalActPtc) toward the east H6930 country, H1552 and go down H3381 (QalPerf) into the desert, H6160§ and go H935 (QalPerf) into the sea: H3220 which being brought forth H3318 (HophPtc) into the sea, H3220 the waters H4325 shall be healed. H7495 (NiphPerf) [9] And it shall come to pass, that every thing H5315 that liveth, H2416 which moveth, H8317 (QalImpf) whithersoever the rivers H5158§ shall come, H935 (QalImpf) shall live: H2421 (QalImpf) and there shall be a very H3966 great H7227 multitude of fish, H1710 because these waters H4325 shall come H935 (QalPerf) thither: for they shall be healed; H7495 (NiphImpf) and every thing shall live H2425 (QalPerf) whither the river H5158 cometh. H935 (QalImpf) [10] And it shall come to pass, that the fishers H1728 shall stand H5975 (QalPerf/Qere) upon it from En-gedi H5872 even unto En-eglaim; H5882 they shall be a place to spread forth H4894 nets; H2764 their fish H1710 shall be according to their kinds, H4327 as the fish H1710 of the great H1419 sea, H3220 exceeding H3966 many. H7227 [11] But the miry places H1207 thereof and the marishes H1360 thereof shall not be healed; H7495 (NiphImpf)§ they shall be given H5414 (NiphPerf) to salt. H4417 [12] And by the river H5158 upon the bank H8193 thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow H5927 (QalImpf)§ all trees H6086 for meat, H3978 whose leaf H5929 shall not fade, H5034 (QalImpf) neither shall the fruit H6529 thereof be consumed: H8552 (QalImpf) it shall bring forth new§ fruit H1069 (PielImpf) according to his months, H2320 because their waters H4325 they issued out H3318 (QalActPtc) of the sanctuary: H4720 and the fruit H6529 thereof shall be for meat, H3978 and the leaf H5929 thereof for medicine.

Boundaries of the Land

[13] Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 This H1454 shall be the border, H1366 whereby ye shall inherit H5157 (HithImpf) the land H776 according to the twelve H8147 tribes H7626 of Israel: H3478 Joseph H3130 shall have two portions. H2256 [14] And ye shall inherit H5157 (QalPerf) it, one H376 as well as another: H251 concerning the which I lifted§ up H5375 (QalPerf) mine hand H3027 to give H5414 (QalInf) it unto your fathers: H1 and this land H776 shall fall H5307 (QalPerf) unto you for inheritance. H5159 [15] And this shall be the border H1366 of the land H776 toward the north H6828 side, H6285 from the great H1419 sea, H3220 the way H1870 of Hethlon, H2855 as men go H935 (QalInf) to Zedad; H6657 [16] Hamath, H2574 Berothah, H1268 Sibraim, H5453 which is between the border H1366 of Damascus H1834 and the border H1366 of Hamath; H2574 Hazar-hatticon, H2694§ which is by the coast H1366 of Hauran. H2362 [17] And the border H1366 from the sea H3220 shall be Hazar-enan, H2703 the border H1366 of Damascus, H1834 and the north H6828 northward, H6828 and the border H1366 of Hamath. H2574 And this is the north H6828 side. H6285 [18] And the east H6921 side H6285 ye shall measure H4058 (QalImpf) from H996§ Hauran, H2362 and from H996 Damascus, H1834 and from H996 Gilead, H1568 and from H996 the land H776 of Israel H3478 by Jordan, H3383 from the border H1366 unto the east H6931 sea. H3220 And this is the east H6921 side. H6285 [19] And the south H5045 side H6285 southward, H8486 from Tamar H8559 even to the waters H4325 of strife H4808 (QK)§ in Kadesh, H6946 the river H5158§ to the great H1419 sea. H3220 And this is the south H8486 side H6285 southward. H5045§ [20] The west H3220 side H6285 also shall be the great H1419 sea H3220 from the border, H1366 till a man come H935 (QalInf) over against H5227 Hamath. H2574 This is the west H3220 side. H6285 [21] So shall ye divide H2505 (PielPerf) this land H776 unto you according to the tribes H7626 of Israel. H3478 [22] And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot H5307 (HiphImpf) for an inheritance H5159 unto you, and to the strangers H1616 that sojourn H1481 (QalActPtc) among H8432 you, which shall beget H3205 (HiphPerf) children H1121 among H8432 you: and they shall be unto you as born H249 in the country H249 among the children H1121 of Israel; H3478 they shall have H5307 (QalImpf) inheritance H5159 with you among H8432 the tribes H7626 of Israel. H3478 [23] And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe H7626 the stranger H1616 sojourneth, H1481 (QalPerf) there shall ye give H5414 (QalImpf) him his inheritance, H5159 saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord H136 God.
