Then he brought me back to the door of the house; and, behold, water issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house looked towards the east, and the water came down from beneath, from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.

Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me round the way outside to the outer gate by the way what looks eastward; and, behold, there ran out water on the right side.

And when the man that had the line in his hand went out eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he made me pass through the water; the water was up to the ankles.

Again he measured a thousand, and made me pass through the water; the water was up to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and made me pass through water up to the loins.

And he measured a further thousand; and it was a stream that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a stream that could not be passed over.

And he said to me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the edge of the stream.

Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the stream were very many trees on the one side and on the other.

Then he said to me, These waters issue out towards the eastern region, and go down into the ῾Arava; and on their entering the sea, the sea of issuing waters, the waters shall be healed.

And it shall come to pass, that every living thing, with which it swarms, wherever the streams shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: so that everything shall be healed, and shall live where that stream comes.

And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from ῾En-gedi as far as ῾En-῾eglayim; there shall be a place for the spreading of nets; their fish shall be of various kinds, like the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.

But its miry places and its marshes shall not be healed; they shall be given for salt.

And by the stream upon its bank, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for food, whose leaf shall not wither, neither shall its fruit fail: it shall bring forth new fruit every month, because their waters have issued out of the sanctuary: and its fruit shall be for food, and its leaf for medicine.

Thus says the Lord God; This shall be the border, according to which you shall divide the land for inheritance to the twelve tribes of Yisra᾽el: Yosef shall have two portions.

And you shall inherit it, one as well as another: that concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers: and this land shall fall to you for inheritance.

And this shall be the border of the land towards the north side, from the great sea, by the way of Ḥetlon, as you go to Żedad;

Ḥamat, Berota, Sivrayim, which is between the border of Dammeseq and the border of Ḥamat; the middle Ḥażer, which is by the border of Ḥavran.

And the border from the sea shall be Ḥażar-῾enon, the border of Dammeseq, and the north northward, and the border of Ḥamat. That is the north side.

And the east side, between Ḥavran, and Dammeseq and Gil῾ad, and between the land of Yisra᾽el and the Yarden, from the border to the eastern sea shall you measure. That is the east side.

And the Negev side southward from Tamar to the waters of Merivot-qadesh to the wadi, as far as the great sea. That is the south side towards the Negev.

The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, as far as over against the entrance of Ḥamat. That is the west side.

So shall you divide this land for yourselves according to the tribes of Yisra᾽el.

And it shall come to pass, that you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, who shall beget children among you: and they shall be to you as those born in the country among the children of Yisra᾽el; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Yisra᾽el.

And it shall come to pass, that in whatever tribe the stranger may sojourn, there shall you give him his inheritance, says the Lord God.
