Chapter 47
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. 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 ^6 ran out waters on the right side.
[Footnote 6: Or, trickled forth]
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. 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.
Afterwards 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.
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. Now when I had
returned, behold, upon the bank of the river were very many trees on the one
side and on the other. 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. And it shall come to pass, that every
living creature which swarmeth, in every place whither the ^7 rivers come,
shall live; and there shall be a very great multitude of fish; for these
waters are come thither, ^8 and the waters of the sea shall be healed, and
everything shall live whithersoever the river cometh. And it shall come to
pass, that fishers shall stand by it: from En-gedi even unto Eneglaim 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. But the miry places thereof, and
the marshes thereof, shall not be healed; they shall be ^1 given up to salt.
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 ^2 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.
[Footnote 7: Heb. two rivers.]
[Footnote 8: Or, that all things may be healed and live]
[Footnote 1: Or, given for salt]
[Footnote 2: Heb. first-fruits.]
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. And ye shall inherit it, one as well as
another; for I ^3 sware to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall
unto you for inheritance.
[Footnote 3: Heb. lifted up my hand.]
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; Hamath,
Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of
Hamath; ^4 Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran. 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. 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. 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. 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.
[See Ruins From The Hauran: Ruins of an ancient city in the Hauran.]
[Footnote 4: Or, the middle Hazer.]
So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.
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. And
it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall
ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord Jehovah.
