* Afterward he made me return to the entrance 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 towards the right side of the house , to the south [side ] of the altar . * Then he brought me out by the way of the north gate and led me by the way outside the gate , outside to the way that looks eastward ; and , behold , there ran out waters on the right side . * And when the man went forth eastward , [he had ] a line in his hand , and he measured a thousand cubits , and he brought me through the waters ; the waters [were ] to the ankles . * Again 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 loins . * Afterward he measured a thousand ; [and it was ] a river that I could not pass over ; for the waters were risen ; a river that could not be passed over without swimming . * And he said unto me , Son of man , hast thou seen [this ]? Then he brought me and caused me to return to the brink of the river . * And as I turned , behold , at the bank of the river [were ] very many trees on the one side and on the other . * Then he said unto me , These waters issue out toward the east country and shall go down into the desert and go into the sea : [which being ] brought forth into the sea , the waters [of the sea ] shall be healed . * And it shall come to pass , [that ] every living soul , which swims wherever these two rivers shall come , shall live ; and there shall be a very great multitude of fish , because of these waters going there : for they shall be healed ; and every thing shall live that shall enter into this river . * And it shall come to pass , [that ] the fishermen shall stand next to it ; and from Engedi even unto Eneglaim there shall be a [place ] to spread forth nets ; according to their kinds , their fish shall be as the fish of the great sea , exceeding many . * But the miry places thereof and the marshes thereof shall not be healed ; they shall be given to salt . * And by the river upon the bank thereof , on this side and on that side , shall grow every [fruitful ] tree for food , whose leaf shall not fall , neither shall its fruit be lacking ; it shall bring forth mature fruit in its months , because their waters come forth out of the sanctuary ; and its fruit shall be for food , and its leaf for medicine . * Thus hath the Lord GOD said : This is the border , by which ye shall divide the land in inheritance among to the twelve tribes of Israel : Joseph [shall have two ] portions . * And ye shall inherit it , one as well as another , [concerning ] that which I lifted up my hand that I must give it unto your fathers : therefore , this land shall fall unto you for inheritance . * And this [shall be ] the border of the land toward the north side , from the great sea , the way of Hethlon , as men go to Zedad ; * Hamath , Berothah , Sibraim , which [is ] between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath ; Hazarhatticon , which [is ] by the coast of Hauran . * And the border of the north shall be from the sea of Hazarenan to the border of Damascus to the north , and to the border of Hamath to the side of the north . * And to the east side through Hauran , and Damascus , and Gilead , and through the land of Israel to the Jordan , ye shall measure this from the border unto the east sea . * And to the south side southward from Tamar [even ] to the waters of strife ; from Kadesh and the river to the great sea . And [this shall be ] the south side southward . * And to the west side the great sea shall be the border straight unto Hamath . This [shall be ] the west side . * So shall ye divide this land among you according to the tribes of Israel . * And it shall come to pass , [that ] ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you , and to the strangers that sojourn among you , who have begotten sons among you ; and they shall be unto you as native born among the sons of Israel ; they shall have cast lots with you to inherit among the tribes of Israel . * And it shall come to pass , [that ] in the tribe in which the stranger sojourns , there shall ye give [him ] his inheritance , said the Lord GOD .:
