* Then he brought me back to the door of the temple ; and there was water , flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east , for the front of the temple faced east ; the water was flowing from under the right side of the temple , south of the altar . * He brought me out by way of the north gate , and led me around on the outside to the outer gateway that faces east ; and there was water , running out on the right side . * And when the man went out to the east with the line in his hand , he measured one thousand cubits , and he brought me through the waters ; the water came up to my ankles . * Again he measured one thousand and brought me through the waters ; the water came up to my knees . Again he measured one thousand and brought me through ; the water came up to my waist . * Again he measured one thousand , and it was a river that I could not cross ; for the water was too deep , water in which one must swim , a river that could not be crossed . * He said to me , "Son of man , have you seen this ?" Then he brought me and returned me to the bank of the river . * When I returned , there , along the bank of the river , were very many trees on one side and the other . * Then he said to me : "This water flows toward the eastern region , goes down into the valley , and enters the sea . When it reaches the sea , its waters are healed . * And it shall be that every living thing that moves , wherever the rivers go , will live . There will be a very great multitude of fish , because these waters go there ; for they will be healed , and everything will live wherever the river goes . * It shall be that fishermen will stand by it from En Gedi to En Eglaim ; they will be places for spreading their nets . Their fish will be of the same kinds as the fish of the Great Sea , exceedingly many . * But its swamps and marshes will not be healed ; they will be given over to salt . * Along the bank of the river , on this side and that , will grow all kinds of trees used for food ; their leaves will not wither , and their fruit will not fail . They will bear fruit every month , because their water flows from the sanctuary . Their fruit will be for food , and their leaves for medicine ."
