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 ankles.

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 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.

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; Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.

¹⁷ 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.

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.

¹ Afterward he brought me again ^H7725 unto the door ^H6607 of the house; ^H1004 and, behold, waters ^H4325 issued out ^H3318 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 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 of the way ^H1870 of the gate ^H8179 northward, ^H6828 and led me about ^H5437 the way ^H1870 without unto the utter ^H2351 gate ^H8179 by the way ^H1870 that looketh ^H6437 eastward; ^H6921 and, behold, there ran out ^H6379 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 eastward, ^H6921 he measured ^H4058 a thousand ^H505 cubits, ^H520 and he brought me through ^H5674 the waters; ^H4325 the waters ^H4325 were to the ankles. ^H657

⁴ Again he measured ^H4058 a thousand, ^H505 and brought me through ^H5674 the waters; ^H4325 the waters ^H4325 were to the knees. ^H1290 Again he measured ^H4058 a thousand, ^H505 and brought me through; ^H5674 the waters ^H4325 were to the loins. ^H4975

⁵ Afterward he measured ^H4058 a thousand; ^H505 and it was a river ^H5158 that I could ^H3201 not pass over: ^H5674 for the waters ^H4325 were risen, ^H1342 waters ^H4325 to swim in, ^H7813 a river ^H5158 that could not be passed over. ^H5674

⁶ And he said ^H559 unto me, Son ^H1121 of man, ^H120 hast thou seen ^H7200 this? Then he brought ^H3212 me, and caused me to return ^H7725 to the brink ^H8193 of the river. ^H5158

⁷ Now when I had returned, ^H7725 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 he unto me, These waters ^H4325 issue out ^H3318 toward the east ^H6930 country, ^H1552 and go down ^H3381 into the desert, ^H6160 and go ^H935 into the sea: ^H3220 which being brought forth ^H3318 into the sea, ^H3220 the waters ^H4325 shall be healed. ^H7495

⁹ And it shall come to pass, that every thing ^H5315 that liveth, ^H2416 which moveth, ^H8317 whithersoever the rivers ^H5158 shall come, ^H935 shall live: ^H2421 and there shall be a very ^H3966 great ^H7227 multitude of fish, ^H1710 because these waters ^H4325 shall come ^H935 thither: for they shall be healed; ^H7495 and every thing shall live ^H2425 whither the river ^H5158 cometh. ^H935

¹⁰ And it shall come to pass, that the fishers ^H1728 shall stand ^{H5975 H5975} upon it from Engedi ^H5872 even unto Eneglaim; ^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 they shall be given ^H5414 to salt. ^H4417

¹² And by the river ^H5158 upon the bank ^H8193 thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow ^H5927 all trees ^H6086 for meat, ^H3978 whose leaf ^H5929 shall not fade, ^H5034 neither shall the fruit ^H6529 thereof be consumed: ^H8552 it shall bring forth new fruit ^H1069 according to his months, ^H2320 because their waters ^H4325 they issued out ^H3318 of the sanctuary: ^H4720 and the fruit ^H6529 thereof shall be for meat, ^H3978 and the leaf ^H5929 thereof for medicine. ^H8644

¹³ Thus saith ^H559 the Lord ^H136 GOD; ^H3069 This ^H1454 shall be the border, ^H1366 whereby ye shall inherit ^H5157 the land ^H776 according to the twelve ^{H8147 H6240} tribes ^H7626 of Israel: ^H3478 Joseph ^H3130 shall have two portions. ^H2256

¹⁴ And ye shall inherit ^H5157 it, one ^H376 as well as another: ^H251 concerning the which I lifted up ^H5375 mine hand ^H3027 to give ^H5414 it unto your fathers: ^H1 and this land ^H776 shall fall ^H5307 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 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 Hazarhatticon, ^H2694 which is by the coast ^H1366 of Hauran. ^H2362

¹⁷ And the border ^H1366 from the sea ^H3220 shall be Hazarenan, ^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 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 H4809} 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 over against ^H5227 Hamath. ^H2574 This is the west ^H3220 side. ^H6285

²¹ So shall ye divide ^H2505 this land ^H776 unto you according to the tribes ^H7626 of Israel. ^H3478

²² And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide ^H5307 it by lot for an inheritance ^H5159 unto you, and to the strangers ^H1616 that sojourn ^H1481 among ^H8432 you, which shall beget ^H3205 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 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 there shall ye give ^H5414 him his inheritance, ^H5159 saith ^H5002 the Lord ^H136 GOD. ^H3069

¹ 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 was toward the east;) and the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, on the south of the altar.

² Then he brought 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 ran out waters on the right side.

³ 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.

⁴ 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 `the waters', waters that were to the loins.

⁵ 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.

⁶ And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen `this'? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the bank of the river.

⁷ Now when I had returned, behold, upon 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 forth toward the eastern region, and shall go down into the Arabah; and they shall go toward the sea; into the sea `shall the waters go' which were made to issue forth; and the waters shall be healed.

⁹ And it shall come to pass, that every living creature which swarmeth, in every place whither the rivers come, shall live; and there shall be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters are come thither, and `the waters of the sea' shall be healed, and everything shall live whithersoever the river cometh.

¹⁰ And it shall come to pass, that fishers shall stand by it: from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim 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.

¹¹ But the miry places thereof, and the marshes thereof, shall not be healed; they shall be given up to salt.

¹² 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 whither, 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.

¹³ Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This shall be the border, whereby ye shall divide the land for inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph `shall have two' portions.

¹⁴ And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another; for I sware 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: On the north side, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, unto the entrance of Zedad;

¹⁶ Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.

¹⁷ 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.

¹⁸ And the east side, between Hauran and Damascus and Gilead, and the land of Israel, shall be the Jordan; from the `north' border unto the east sea shall ye measure. This is the east side.

¹⁹ And the south side southward shall be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meriboth-kadesh, to the brook `of Egypt', unto the great sea. This is the south side southward.

²⁰ And the west side shall be the great sea, from the `south' border as far as over against the entrance of 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, 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.

²³ And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord Jehovah.

¹ And he causeth me to turn back unto the opening of the house; and lo, water is coming forth from under the threshold of the house eastward, for the front of the house `is' eastward, and the water is coming down from beneath, from the right side of the house, from the south of the altar.

² And he causeth me to go out the way of the gate northward, and causeth me to turn round the way without, unto the gate that `is' without, the way that is looking eastward, and lo, water is coming forth from the right side.

³ In the going out of the man eastward, and a line in his hand, then he measureth a thousand by the cubit, and he causeth me to pass over into water -- water to the ankles.

⁴ And he measureth a thousand, and causeth me to pass over into water -- water to the knees. And he measureth a thousand, and causeth me to pass over -- water to the loins.

⁵ And he measureth a thousand -- a stream that I am not able to pass over; for risen have the waters -- waters to swim in -- a stream that is not passed over.

⁶ And he saith unto me, `Hast thou seen, son of man?' and he leadeth me, and bringeth me back unto the edge of the stream.

⁷ In my turning back, then, lo, at the edge of the stream `are' very many trees, on this side and on that side.

⁸ And he saith unto me, `These waters are going forth unto the east circuit, and have gone down unto the desert, and have entered the sea; unto the sea they are brought forth, and the waters have been healed.

⁹ And it hath come to pass, every living creature that teemeth, whithersoever the streams come, doth live: and there hath been great abundance of fish, for these waters have come thither, and they are healed; and every thing whither the stream cometh hath lived.

¹⁰ And it hath come to pass, fishers do stand by it, from En-Gedi even unto En-Eglaim; a spreading place of nets they are; according to their own kind is their fish, as the fish of the great sea, very many.

¹¹ Its miry and its marshy places -- they are not healed; to salt they have been given up.

¹² And by the stream there cometh up on its edge, on this side and on that side, every `kind of' fruit-tree whose leaf fadeth not, and not consumed is its fruit, according to its months it yieldeth first-fruits, because its waters from the sanctuary are coming forth; and its fruits hath been for food, and its leaf for medicine.

¹³ `Thus said the Lord Jehovah: This `is' the border whereby ye inherit the land, according to the twelve tribes of Israel; Joseph `hath' portions.

¹⁴ And ye have inherited it, one as well as another, in that I have lifted up My hand to give it to your fathers; and this land hath fallen to you in inheritance.

¹⁵ `And this `is' the border of the land at the north quarter; from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, at the coming in to Zedad:

¹⁶ Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, that `is' between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazar-Hatticon, that `is' at the coast of Havran.

¹⁷ And the border from the sea hath been Hazar-Enan, the border of Damascus, and Zaphon at the north, and the border of Hamath: and `this is' the north quarter.

¹⁸ `And the east quarter `is' from between Havran, and Damascus, and Gilead, and the land of Israel, `to' the Jordan; from the border over-against the eastern sea ye measure: and `this is' the east quarter.

¹⁹ `And the south quarter southward `is' from Tamar unto the waters of Meriboth-Kadesh, the stream unto the great sea: and `this is' the south quarter southward.

²⁰ `And the west quarter `is' the great sea, from the border till over-against the coming in to Hamath: this `is' the west quarter.

²¹ `And ye have divided this land to you, according to the tribes of Israel;

²² and it hath come to pass, ye separate it for an inheritance to yourselves, and to the sojourners who are sojourning in your midst, who have begotten sons in your midst, and they have been to you as native, with the sons of Israel, with you they are separated for an inheritance in the midst of the tribes of Israel.

²³ And it hath come to pass, in the tribe with which the sojourner sojourneth, there ye give his inheritance -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

¹ And he brought me back to the door of the house; and behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the front of the house was eastward. And the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, south of the altar.

² And he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me round outside unto the outer gate towards [the gate] that looketh eastward; and behold, waters ran out on the right side.

³ When the man went forth eastward, a line was in his hand; and he measured a thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters: the waters were to the ankles.

⁴ And he measured a thousand [cubits], and caused me to pass through the waters: the waters were to the knees. And he measured a thousand and caused me to pass through: the waters were to the loins.

⁵ And he measured a thousand: 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.

⁶ And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen [this]? And he led me, and brought me back to the bank of the river.

⁷ When I returned, behold, on the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.

⁸ And he said unto me, These waters issue out toward the east district, and go down into the plain, and go into the sea; when they are brought forth into the sea, the waters [thereof] shall be healed.

⁹ And it shall come to pass that every living thing which moveth, whithersoever the double river shall come, shall live. And there shall be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters shall come thither, and [the waters of the sea] shall be healed; and everything shall live whither the river cometh.

¹⁰ And it shall come to pass, that fishers shall stand upon it; from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim 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 its marshes and its pools shall not be healed; they shall be given up to salt.

¹² And by the river, upon its bank, on the one side and on the other, shall grow all trees for food, whose leaf shall not fade, nor their fruit fail: it shall bring forth new fruit every month, for its waters issue out of the sanctuary; and the fruit thereof shall be for food, and the leaf thereof for medicine.

¹³ Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This shall be the border whereby ye shall allot the land as inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph [shall have two] portions.

¹⁴ And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another, [the land] concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it unto your fathers; and this land shall fall to 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 one goeth to Zedad,

¹⁶ Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border 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: this is the north side.

¹⁸ -- And on the east side ye shall measure between Hauran and Damascus, and Gilead and the land of Israel [by] the Jordan, from the border unto the east sea: this is the east side.

¹⁹ -- And the south side southward, from Tamar to the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, by the torrent, unto the great sea: this is the south side southward.

²⁰ -- And the west side shall be the great sea from the border, as far as over against the entering into Hamath: this is the west side.

²¹ And ye shall 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, who shall beget children among you; and they shall be unto you as the home-born among the children of Israel: with you shall they draw by lot inheritance among the tribes of Israel.

²³ And it shall come to pass that in the tribe in which the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give [him] his inheritance, saith the Lord Jehovah.

¹ He brought me back to the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward; (for the forefront of the house was toward the east;) and the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, on the south of the altar.

² Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me round by the way outside to the outer gate, by the way of [the gate] that looks toward the east; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.

³ When the man went forth 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 [the waters], waters that were to the loins.

⁵ Afterward he measured one 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.

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 said he to me, These waters issue forth toward the eastern region, and shall go down into the Arabah; and they shall go toward the sea; into the sea [shall the waters go] which were made to issue forth; and the waters shall be healed.

⁹ It shall happen, that every living creature which swarms, in every place where the rivers come, shall live; and there shall be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters are come there, and [the waters of the sea] shall be healed, and everything shall live wherever the river comes.

¹⁰ It shall happen, that fishermen shall stand by it: from En Gedi even to En Eglaim 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.

¹¹ But the miry places of it, and the marshes of it, shall not be healed; they shall be given up to salt.

¹² By the river on the bank of it, on this side and on that side, shall grow every tree for food, whose leaf shall not wither, neither shall the fruit of it fail: it shall bring forth new fruit every month, because the waters of it issue out of the sanctuary; and the fruit of it shall be for food, and the leaf of it for healing.

¹³ Thus says the Lord Yahweh: 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: and this land shall 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; 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 and Damascus and Gilead, and the land of Israel, shall be the Jordan; from the [north] border to the east sea shall you 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 [of Egypt], 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 over against the entrance of Hamath. This is the west side.

²¹ So shall you divide this land to you according to the tribes of Israel.

²² It shall happen, that you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you and to the strangers who sojourn among you, who shall father children among you; and they shall be to you as the home-born among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

²³ It shall happen, that in what tribe the stranger sojourns, there shall you give him his inheritance, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹ And he took me back to the door of the house; and I saw that waters were flowing out from under the doorstep of the house on the east, for the house was facing east: and the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, on the south side of the altar.

² And he took me out by the north doorway, and made me go round to the outside of the doorway looking to the east; and I saw waters running slowly out on the south side.

³ And the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, and after measuring a thousand cubits, he made me go through the waters, which came over my feet.

⁴ And again, measuring a thousand cubits, he made me go through the waters which came up to my knees. Again, measuring a thousand, he made me go through the waters up to the middle of my body.

⁵ Again, after his measuring a thousand, it became a river which it was not possible to go through: for the waters had become deep enough for swimming, a river it was not possible to go through.

⁶ And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen this? Then he took me to the river's edge.

⁷ And he took me back, and I saw at the edge of the river a very great number of trees on this side and on that.

⁸ And he said to me, These waters are flowing out to the east part of the land and down into the Arabah; and they will go to the sea, and the waters will be made sweet.

⁹ And it will come about that every living and moving thing, wherever their streams come, will have life; and there will be very much fish because these waters have come there and have been made sweet: and everything wherever the river comes will have life.

¹⁰ And fishermen will take up their places by it: from En-gedi as far as En-eglaim will be a place for the stretching out of nets; the fish will be of every sort, like the fish of the Great Sea, a very great number.

¹¹ The wet places and the pools will not be made sweet; they will be given up to salt.

¹² And by the edge of the river, on this side and on that, will come up every tree used for food, whose leaves will ever be green and its fruit will not come to an end: it will have new fruit every month, because its waters come out from the holy place: the fruit will be for food and the leaf will make well those who are ill.

¹³ This is what the Lord has said: These are the limits by which you will take up your heritage in the land among the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph is to have two parts.

¹⁴ And you are to make an equal division of it; as I gave my oath to your fathers to give it to you: for this land is to be your heritage.

¹⁵ And this is to be the limit of the land: on the north side, from the Great Sea, in the direction of Hethlon, as far as the way into Hamath;

¹⁶ To Zedad, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the limit of Damascus and the limit of Hazar-hatticon, which is on the limit of Hauran.

¹⁷ And this is the limit from the sea in the direction of Hazar-enon; and the limit of Damascus is to the north, and on the north is the limit of Hamath. This is the north side.

¹⁸ And the east side will be from Hazar-enon, which is between Hauran and Damascus; and between Gilead and the land of Israel the Jordan will be the limit, to the east sea, to Tamar. This is the east side.

¹⁹ And the south side to the south will be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribath-kadesh, to the stream of Egypt, to the Great Sea. This is the south side, on the south.

²⁰ And the west side will be the Great Sea, from the limit on the south to a point opposite the way into Hamath. This is the west side.

²¹ You will make a division of the land among you, tribe by tribe.

²² And you are to make a distribution of it, by the decision of the Lord, for a heritage to you and to the men from other lands who are living among you and who have children in your land: they will be the same to you as if they were Israelites by birth, they will have their heritage with you among the tribes of Israel.

²³ In whatever tribe the man from a strange land is living, there you are to give him his heritage, says the Lord.
