Book 14 : NEVIIM - EZEKIEL - Chapter 047
47:001
And he brought me back 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 looked toward the east; and the waters came down from
under, from the right side of the house, on the south of the altar
47:002
Then brought he me out by the way of the gate northward,
and led me round by the way without unto the outer gate, by the way of the gate
that looketh toward the east; and, behold, there trickled forth waters on the
right side
47:003
When the man went forth eastward with the line in his hand,
he measured a thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters,
waters that were to the ankles
47:004
Again he measured a thousand, and caused me to pass through
the waters, waters that were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and
caused me to pass through waters that were to the loins
47:005
Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I
could not pass through; for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river
that could not be passed through
47:006
And he said unto me: 'Hast thou seen this, O son of man?'
Then he led me, and caused me to return to the bank of the river
47:007
Now when I had been brought back, behold, upon the bank of
the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other
47:008
Then said he unto me: 'These waters issue forth toward the
eastern region, and shall go down into the Arabah; and when they shall enter
into the sea, into the sea of the putrid waters, the waters shall be healed
47:009
And it shall come to pass, that every living creature
wherewith it swarmeth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live; and
there shall be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters are come
thither, that all things be healed and may live whithersoever the river cometh
47:010
And it shall come to pass, that fishers shall stand by it
from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; there shall be a place for the spreading of
nets; their fish shall be after their kinds, as the fish of the Great Sea,
exceeding many
47:011
But the miry places thereof, and the marshes thereof,
shall not be healed; they shall be given for salt
47:012
And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and
on that side, shall grow every tree for food, whose leaf shall not wither,
neither shall the fruit thereof fail; it shall bring forth new fruit every
month, because the waters thereof issue out of the sanctuary; and the fruit
thereof shall be for food, and the leaf thereof for healing.
47:013
Thus saith the L-rd GOD: 'This shall be the border,
whereby ye shall divide the land for inheritance according to the twelve tribes
of Israel, Joseph receiving two portions
47:014
And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another,
concerning which I lifted up My hand to give it unto your fathers; and this land
shall fall unto you for inheritance
47:015
And this shall be the border of the land: on the north
side, from the Great Sea, by the way of Hethlon, unto the entrance of Zedad
47:016
Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of
Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border of
Hauran
47:017
And 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
47:018
And the east side, between Hauran and Damascus and Gilead,
and the land of Israel, by the Jordan, from the border unto the east sea shall
ye measure. This is the east side
47:019
And the south side southward shall be from Tamar as far as
the waters of Meriboth-kadesh, to the Brook, unto the Great Sea. This is the
south side southward
47:020
And the west side shall be the Great Sea, from the border
as far as over against the entrance of Hamath. This is the west side
47:021
So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the
tribes of Israel
47:022
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, who
shall beget children among you; and they shall be unto you as the home-born
among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the
tribes of Israel
47:023
And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger
sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the L-rd GOD
