Ezekiel 47:1 - Prayer Tents

47Then he brought me back to the entrance of the temple and there was water flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the temple faced east. The water was coming down from under the south side [of the threshold] of the temple, south of the altar.H7725H6607H1004H4325H3318H4670H1004H6921H6440H1004H6921H4325H3381H3233H3802H1004H5045H4196 2Next he brought me out by way of the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate that faced east; there the water was trickling from the south side.H3318H1870H8179H6828H5437H1870H2351H8179H1870H6437H6921H6379H4325H3233H3802 3As the man went out east with a measuring line in his hand, he measured off a third of a mile and led me through the water. It came up to [my] ankles.H376H6957H3027H3318H6921H4058H505H520H5674H4325H4325H657 4Then he measured off a third [of a mile] and led me through the water. It came up to [my] knees. He measured off another third [of a mile] and led me through [the water]. It came up to [my] waist.H4058H505H5674H4325H4325H1290H4058H505H5674H4325H4975 5Again he measured off a third of a [mile], and it was a river that I could not cross [on foot]. For the water had risen; it was deep enough to swim in, a river that could not be crossed [on foot].H4058H505H5158H3201H5674H4325H1342H4325H7813H5158H5674 6He asked me, "Do you see [this], son of man?" Then he led me back to the bank of the river.H559H1121H120H7200H3212H7725H8193H5158 7When I had returned, I saw a very large number of trees along both sides of the riverbank.H7725H8193H5158H3966H7227H6086 8He said to me, "This water flows out to the eastern region and goes down to the Arabah. When it enters the sea, the sea of foul water, the water [of the sea] becomes fresh.H559H4325H3318H6930H1552H3381H6160H935H3220H3318H3220H4325H7495 9Every [kind of] living creature that swarms will live wherever the river flows, and there will be a huge number of fish because this water goes there. Since the water will become fresh, there will be life everywhere the river goes.H5315H2416H8317H5158H935H2421H3966H7227H1710H4325H935H7495H2425H5158H935 10Fishermen will stand beside it from En-gedi to En-eglaim. These will become places where nets are spread out to dry. Their fish will consist of many different kinds, like the fish of the Mediterranean Sea.H1728H5975H5975H5872H5882H4894H2764H1710H4327H1710H1419H3220H3966H7227 11Yet its swamps and marshes will not be healed; they will be left for salt.H1207H1360H7495H5414H4417 12All [kinds of] trees providing food will grow along both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. Each month they will bear fresh fruit because the water [comes] from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be used for food and their leaves for medicine."H5158H8193H5927H6086H3978H5929H5034H6529H8552H1069H2320H4325H3318H4720H6529H3978H5929H8644 13This is what the Lord God says: "This is the border you will [use to] divide the land as an inheritance for the 12 tribes of Israel. Joseph will receive two shares.H559H136H3069H1454H1366H5157H776H8147H6240H7626H3478H3130H2256 14You will inherit it in equal portions, since I swore to give it to your ancestors. So this land will fall to you as an inheritance.H5157H376H251H5375H3027H5414H1H776H5307H5159 15"This is to be the border of the land: On the north side it will extend from the Mediterranean Sea by way of Hethlon and Lebo-hamath to Zedad,H1366H776H6828H6285H1419H3220H1870H2855H935H6657 16Berothah, and Sibraim (which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath), [as far as] Hazer-hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran.H2574H1268H5453H1366H1834H1366H2574H2694H1366H2362 17So the border will run from the sea to Hazar-enon at the border of Damascus, with the territory of Hamath to the north. This will be the northern side.H1366H3220H2703H1366H1834H6828H6828H1366H2574H6828H6285 18On the east side it will run between Hauran and Damascus, along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel; you will measure from the [northern] border to the eastern sea. This will be the eastern side.H6921H6285H4058H996H2362H996H1834H996H1568H996H776H3478H3383H1366H6931H3220H6921H6285 19On the south side it will run from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, and on to the Brook [of Egypt] as far as the Mediterranean Sea. This will be the southern side.H5045H6285H8486H8559H4325H4808H4809H6946H5158H1419H3220H8486H6285H5045 20On the west side the Mediterranean Sea will be the border, from the [southern] border up to a point opposite Lebo-hamath. This will be the western side.H3220H6285H1419H3220H1366H935H5227H2574H3220H6285 21"You are to divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.H2505H776H7626H3478 22You will allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the foreigners living among you, who have fathered children among you. You will treat them like native-born Israelites; along with you, they will be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel.H5307H5159H1616H1481H8432H3205H1121H8432H249H249H1121H3478H5307H5159H8432H7626H3478 23In whatever tribe the foreigner lives, you will assign his inheritance there." [This is] the declaration of the Lord God.H7626H1616H1481H5414H5159H5002H136H3069
