Ezekiel 47
International Standard Version Help
47After this, he brought me back to the doorway to the temple. To my amazement, there was water flowing out toward the east from beneath the threshold of the temple. (The temple faced eastward.) The water flowed down from beneath the right side of the temple, that is, from the south-facing side where the altar was located.H7725H6607H1004H4325H3318H4670H1004H6921H6440H1004H6921H4325H3381H3233H3802H1004H5045H4196
2Then he brought me out through the north gateway and around to the one outside that faces toward the east. To my amazement, water was trickling out from that part of the south side, too!H3318H1870H8179H6828H5437H1870H2351H8179H1870H6437H6921H6379H4325H3233H3802
3As the man went out toward the east, he carried a measuring line in his hand. He measured out 1,500 feet as he led me through water that was ankle-deep.H376H6957H3027H3318H6921H4058H505H520H5674H4325H4325H657
4Then he measured out another 1,500 feet, where he led me through water that was knee-deep. And then he measured out another 1,500 feet, where the water was waist-deep.H4058H505H5674H4325H4325H1290H4058H505H5674H4325H4975
5When he had measured out another 1,500 feet, the water had become deep enough that I wasn't able to ford it. Instead, I would have had to swim through it.H4058H505H5158H3201H5674H4325H1342H4325H7813H5158H5674
6Then, as he was bringing me back along the river bank, he asked me, "Son of Man, did you see all of this?H559H1121H120H7200H3212H7725H8193H5158
7As we were coming back, I was amazaed to see that there were many, many trees lining both banks of the river.H7725H8193H5158H3966H7227H6086
8He told me, "This river flows toward the eastern territories all the way down into the Arabah, and from there its water heads out toward the Dead Sea, where the sea water turns fresh.H559H4325H3318H6930H1552H3381H6160H935H3220H3318H3220H4325H7495
9It will support all kinds of living creatures that will thrive abundantly wherever the river flows. There will be a great many fish, because this water will flow there and turn the Dead Sea's salt water fresh. As a result, everything will live wherever the river flows.8H5315H2416H8317H5158H935H2421H3966H7227H1710H4325H935H7495H2425H5158H935
10"A day will come when firsherman will line its banks-from Engedi to Eneglaim there will plenty of room to spread out nets. There will be all sorts of species of fish, as abundant as the fish that live in the Meditteranean Sea. There will be lots of them!H1728H5975H5975H5872H5882H4894H2764H1710H4327H1710H1419H3220H3966H7227
11"The river delta will consist of swamps and marshes that will remain a salt water wetland preserve.H1207H1360H7495H5414H4417
12Lining each side of the river banks, all sorts of species of fruit tree will be growing. Their leaves will never wither and their fruit will never fail. They will bear fruit every month, because the water that nourishes them will be flowing from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food and their leaves will contain substances that promote healing."H5158H8193H5927H6086H3978H5929H5034H6529H8552H1069H2320H4325H3318H4720H6529H3978H5929H8644
13This is what the Lord God says: "This is to be the territorial border by which you apportion the land for an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel, with Joseph double-portioned.H559H136H3069H1454H1366H5157H776H8147H6240H7626H3478H3130H2256
14Apportion it for their inheritances, one man equally as if to his own brother, which is how I promised to give it to your ancestors. This way, the land will fall to you as an inheritance.H5157H376H251H5375H3027H5414H1H776H5307H5159
15"This is to be the border for the land: on the north side, from the Mediterranean Sea by the Hethlon Road to the entrance of Zedad,H1366H776H6828H6285H1419H3220H1870H2855H935H6657
16Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim (which lies between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath), and Hazer-hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran.H2574H1268H5453H1366H1834H1366H2574H2694H1366H2362
17The border shall proceed from the Mediterranean Sea to Hazer-enan (a border of Damascus), and on the north facing north will be the border of Hamath. This will be the north side.H1366H3220H2703H1366H1834H6828H6828H1366H2574H6828H6285
18"The eastern extremity will proceed from between Hauran and Damascus, then between Gilead, and then through the land of Israel-the Jordan River. You shall measure from the northern border to the Dead Sea. This will be the eastern perimeter.H6921H6285H4058H996H2362H996H1834H996H1568H996H776H3478H3383H1366H6931H3220H6921H6285
19"You will determine the southern extremity running from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribath-kadesh, then from there proceeding to the Wadi of Egypt and then to the Mediterranean Sea. This will be the southern perimeter.H5045H6285H8486H8559H4325H4808H4809H6946H5158H1419H3220H8486H6285H5045
20"The western perimeter will be the Mediterranean Sea, from the southern most border to a location opposite the entrance to Hamath. This will be the western perimeter.H3220H6285H1419H3220H1366H935H5227H2574H3220H6285
21"You shall apportion this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel,H2505H776H7626H3478
22dividing it randomly among yourselves and among the aliens who live among you and bear children among you. You shall treat them like native-born Israelites. Among you they, too, shall be allotted an inheritance with the tribes of Israel.H5307H5159H1616H1481H8432H3205H1121H8432H249H249H1121H3478H5307H5159H8432H7626H3478
23Furthermore, you shall provide his inheritance there in the tribe within which the alien remains," declares the Lord God.H7626H1616H1481H5414H5159H5002H136H3069
