* And he led me again to the door of the house . And behold , water came out from under the threshold of the house eastward . For the front of the house [is ] east , and the water came down from under the right side of the house , at the south side of the altar . * And he led me out by the way of the north gate , and led me around the way outside to the outer gate , by the way facing the east . And behold , water [was ] trickling out of the right side . * When the man went out eastward , and a line in his hand , he measured a thousand cubits . And he passed me through the water . The water [was to ] the ankles . * And he measured a thousand cubits , and passed me through the water , water [to ] the knees . And he measured a thousand , and passed me through water [to ] the loins . * And he measured a thousand ; and there was a torrent which I [was ] not able to pass ; for the water had risen , water to swim [in ], a torrent that could not be passed . * And he said to me , Son of man , have you seen ? And he led me , and caused me to return to the bank of the torrent . * When I returned , then behold , on the edge of the torrent [were ] very many trees , from here and from there . * And he said to me , These waters go out toward the eastern circuit , and go down into the Arabah , and go into the sea . They are brought out into the sea , and the waters shall be healed . * And it shall be that every living soul which swarms in every [place ], there where the two torrents go , [that soul ] shall live . And there shall be very many fish , because these waters shall come there . And they shall be healed . And all shall live where the torrent goes . * And it will be , the fishermen shall stand on it from En-gedi even to En-eglaim , a spreading place for nets shall be there . Their fish shall be according to their kinds , like the fish of the Great Sea , very many . * Its swamps and its marshes shall not even be healed ; they shall be given to salt . * And all trees [for ] food shall go up by the torrent , on its bank on this [side ], and on that [side ]. Its leaf shall not fade , nor its fruit fail . It will bear by its months , because its waters come out from the sanctuary . And its fruit shall be for food , and its leaf for healing . * So says the Lord Jehovah : This [shall be ] the border by which you shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel . Joseph [shall have two ] parts . * And you shall inherit it , each man like his brother , that I lifted up My hand to give to your fathers ; even this land shall fall to you for an inheritance . * And this [is ] the border of the land to the north side , from the Great Sea , the way of Hethlon , to the entrance of Zedad ; * Hamath , Berothah , Sibraim , which [is ] between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath ; Hazer-hatticon , which [is ] by the border of Hauran . * And the border shall be from the sea to Hazar-enan , at the border of Damascus and the north northward , even the border of Hamath . And [this is ] the north side . * And you shall measure the east side from between Hauran , and from Damascus , and from Gilead , and the land of Israel , [shall be ] the Jordan , from the border to the Eastern Sea . And [this is ] the east side . * And the south side , southward from Tamar , to the waters of Meriboth-kadesh , the torrent to the Great Sea . And [this is ] the south side southward . * And the west side [is ] the Great Sea from the border until one is beside the entrance of Hamath . [This is ] the west side . * And you shall divide this land for yourselves by the tribes of Israel . * And it will be , you shall make it fall by lot for an inheritance to yourselves , and to the strangers who live among you , who shall father sons among you . And they shall be to you as native-born among the sons of Israel . They shall be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel . * And it shall be , in the tribe in which the stranger resides , there you shall give his inheritance , says the Lord Jehovah .
