Ezekiel 47

And he brought me to the doorway of the house; and behold, water was going out from beneath the open court toward the east, for the face of the house looked toward the east; and the water was coming down from the right side, from the south, to the altar.

And he brought me out by the way of the north gate, and led me around the way outside to the gate of the court that looks toward the east; and behold, the water was flowing down from the right side.

As a man goes out opposite, with a measure in his hand; and he measured a thousand by the measure, and he passed through in the water—water of release.

And he measured a thousand, and he passed through in the water—water up to the thighs. And he measured a thousand, and he passed through—water up to the loins.

And he measured a thousand, and he could not pass through, for the water had swollen like the rushing of a torrent which they cannot cross.

And he said to me: Have you seen, son of man? And he led me to the bank of the river.

On my return, behold, on the bank of the river there were very many trees on this side and on that side.

And he said to me: This water that goes out to Galilee toward the east—and it was going down to Arabia and coming as far as the sea, to the water of the outlet—and it shall heal the waters.

And every living soul of the creatures that teem upon all things, wherever the river comes there, shall live; and there shall be there very many fish, because this water comes there, and it shall heal; and everything shall live upon which the river comes—there it shall live.

And fishermen shall stand there, from Aingadin to Ainagalim; there shall be a drying place for nets; it shall be by itself; and its fish shall be like the fish of the Great Sea, a very great multitude.

But in its outlet and in its turning back and in its overflow they shall not heal; they are given over for salt.

And by the river, upon its bank on this side and on that side, there shall come up every tree good for food; it shall not grow old upon it, nor shall its fruit fail; of its newness it shall put forth first fruit, because their waters go out from the holy places; and their fruit shall be for food, and their growth for healing.

Thus says the Lord God: These are the boundaries of the land which you shall inherit for the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel—an addition of a measured allotment.

And you shall inherit it, each as his brother, the land concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it to their fathers; and this land shall fall to you as an inheritance.

And these are the boundaries of the land: toward the north, from the Great Sea that goes down and divides around, to the entrance of Hemath, Seddada.

Berotha, Sebraim, Eliam, between the borders of Damascus and the borders of Hemath, the court of Saunan, which are above the borders of Hauranitis.

These are the boundaries: from the sea, from the court of Ainan, the borders of Damascus, and the parts toward the north.

And the parts toward the east: between Hauranitis and Damascus, and between Galaaditis and the land of Israel—the Jordan divides them—to the sea that is toward the east of Phoinikon. These are the parts toward the east.

And the parts toward the south and the southwest: from Thaiman and Phoinikon as far as the water of Marimoth Kades, extending to the Great Sea. This is the portion, the south and the southwest.

This portion of the Great Sea forms the boundary as far as opposite the entrance of Hemath, as far as its entrance. These are the parts toward the sea, Hemath.

And you shall divide this land among them, among the tribes of Israel.

You shall cast it by lot for yourselves and for the proselytes who sojourn in your midst, who have begotten sons in your midst; and they shall be to you as native-born among the sons of Israel; with you they shall eat in the inheritance in the midst of the tribes of Israel.

And they shall be in the tribe of the proselytes, among the proselytes who are with them; there you shall give them an inheritance, says the Lord God.
