* And he brought me back to the door of the house ; and behold , waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward : for the front of the house was eastward . And the waters came down from under , from the right side of the house , south of the altar . * And he brought me out by the way of the gate northward , and led me round outside unto the outer gate towards [the gate ] that looketh eastward ; and behold , waters ran out on the right side . * When the man went forth eastward , a line was in his hand ; and he measured a thousand cubits , and he caused me to pass through the waters : the waters were to the ankles . * And he measured a thousand [cubits ], and caused me to pass through the waters : the waters were to the knees . And he measured a thousand and caused me to pass through : the waters were to the loins . * And he measured a thousand : 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 ]? And he led me , and brought me back to the bank of the river . * When I returned , behold , on the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other . * And he said unto me , These waters issue out toward the east district , and go down into the plain , and go into the sea ; when they are brought forth into the sea , the waters [thereof ] shall be healed . * And it shall come to pass that every living thing which moveth , whithersoever the double river shall come , shall live . And there shall be a very great multitude of fish ; for these waters shall come thither , and [the waters of the sea ] shall be healed ; and everything shall live whither the river cometh . * And it shall come to pass , that fishers shall stand upon it ; from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim 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 . * But its marshes and its pools shall not be healed ; they shall be given up to salt . * And by the river , upon its bank , on the one side and on the other , shall grow all trees for food , whose leaf shall not fade , nor their fruit fail : it shall bring forth new fruit every month , for its waters issue out of the sanctuary ; and the fruit thereof shall be for food , and the leaf thereof for medicine .
