Bible, King James Version
Ezekiel
Ezek.47
[1] 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.
[2] 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.
[3] 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 ancles.
[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 unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this?
Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the
river.
[7] Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the
river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
[8] 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.
[9] 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.
[10] And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall
stand upon it from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; 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.
[11] But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof
shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.
[12] 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.
[13] 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.
[14] 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.
[15] 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;
[16] Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the
border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazar-hatticon,
which is by the coast of Hauran.
[17] And the border from the sea shall be Hazar-enan, the
border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of
Hamath. And this is the north side.
[18] 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.
[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 shall be the great sea from the
border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west
side.
[21] So shall ye divide this land unto you according to
the tribes of Israel.
[22] 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.
[23] And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the
stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance,
saith the Lord GOD.
