Ezekiel 47
47
1Afterward he brought me again 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 [stood toward] the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south [side] of the altar.
2Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the outer gate by the way that looks eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
3And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters [were] to the ankles.
4Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters [were] to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters [were] to the waist.
5Afterward he measured a thousand; [and it was] a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.
6And he said unto me, Son of man, have youi seen [this]? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.
7Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river [were] very many trees on the one side and on the other.
8Then said he unto me, These waters issue (what comes forth) out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: [which being] brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
9And it shall come to pass, [that] every thing that lives, which moves, to wherever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come there: for they shall be healed; and everything shall live to which the river comes.
10And it shall come to pass, [that] the fishers shall stand upon it from ‘Ein-Gedi [Fount of the Kid] even unto ‘Ein-Eglayim [fountain of the two calves]; they shall be a [place] to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
11But the miry places thereof and the marshes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.
12And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
13Thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER); This [shall be] the border, whereby you2f shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: Yosef [(God) He Shall Add] [shall have two] portions.
14And you2f shall inherit it, one as well as another: [concerning] the which I lifted up my hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.
15And this [shall be] the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hetlon [hiding place], as men go to Tz’dad [Mountain Side];
16Hamat [Fortress], Berotah [cypress grove], Sigroan (wail; make a foul noise) im [twofold hope], which [is] between the border of Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver] and the border of Hamat [Fortress]; Hatzer-Hatikhon [middle court], which [is] by the coast of Havran [caverns].
17And the border from the sea shall be Hatzar-’Einan [Villiage of Fountains], the border of Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver], and the north northward, and the border of Hamat [Fortress]. And [this is] the north side.
18And the east side you2f shall measure from Havran [caverns], and from Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver], and from Gil’ad [Rocky Region], and from the land of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] [by] Yarden [Descender], from the border unto the east sea. And [this is] the east side.
19And the south side southward, from Tamar [palm-tree] [even] to the waters of strife [in] Kadesh [Holy], the river to the great sea. And [this is] the south side southward.
20The west side also [shall be] the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamat [Fortress]. This [is] the west side.
21So shall you2f divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
22And it shall come to pass, [that] you2f shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget (to be father of; be ancestor of) children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
23And it shall come to pass, [that] in what tribe the stranger sojourns, there shall you2f give [him] his inheritance, says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER).
