*
Then he brought me back to the door of the temple ;
and behold ,
water was issuing from below the threshold of the temple toward the east (
for the temple faced east );
and the water was flowing down from below the south end of the threshold of the temple ,
south of the altar .
*
Then he brought me out by way of the north gate ,
and led me round on the outside to the outer gate ,
that faces toward the east ;
and the water was coming out on the south side .
*
Going on eastward with a line in his hand ,
the man measured a thousand cubits ,
and then led me through the water ;
and it was ankle-deep .
*
Again he measured a thousand ,
and led me through the water ;
and it was knee-deep .
Again he measured a thousand ,
and led me through the water ;
and it was up to the loins .
*
Again he measured a thousand ,
and it was a river that I could not pass through ,
for the water had risen ;
it was deep enough to swim in ,
a river that could not be passed through .
