Water
from the Temple |
|
|
 |
|
Ezekiel 47:1
|
|
Then he brought me back to the door of the house;
and behold, water was flowing from under the threshold of the house toward the
east, for the house faced east. And the water was flowing down from under, from
the right side of the house, from south of the altar. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 47:2
|
|
He brought me out by way of the north gate and
led me around on the outside to the outer gate by way of the gate that faces east.
And behold, water was trickling from the south side. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 47:3
|
|
When the man went out toward the east with a
line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he led me through the water,
water reaching the ankles. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 47:4
|
|
Again he measured a thousand and led me through
the water, water reaching the knees. Again he measured a thousand and led me through
the water, water reaching the loins. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 47:5
|
|
Again he measured a thousand; and it was a river
that I could not ford, for the water had risen, enough water to swim in, a river
that could not be forded. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 47:6
|
|
He said to me, "Son of man, have you seen this?"
Then he brought me back to the bank of the river. |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 47:7
|
|
Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank
of the river there were very many trees on the one side and on the other. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 47:8
|
|
Then he said to me, "These waters go out toward
the eastern region and go down into the Arabah; then they go toward the sea, being
made to flow into the sea, and the waters of the sea become fresh. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 47:9
|
|
"It will come about that every living creature
which swarms in every place where the river goes, will live. And there will be
very many fish, for these waters go there and the others become fresh; so everything
will live where the river goes. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 47:10
|
|
"And it will come about that fishermen will
stand beside it; from Engedi to Eneglaim there will be a place for the spreading
of nets. Their fish will be according to their kinds, like the fish of the Great
Sea, very many. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 47:11
|
|
"But its swamps and marshes will not become
fresh; they will be left for salt. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 47:12
|
|
"By the river on its bank, on one side and on
the other, will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither
and their fruit will not fail. They will bear every month because their water
flows from the sanctuary, and their fruit will be for food and their leaves for
healing." |

at the border of Damascus, and on the north toward the north is the border of
Hamath. This is the north side. |

|
|

|
|
|

|
|

according to the tribes of Israel. |

among yourselves and among the aliens who stay in your midst, who bring forth
sons in your midst. And they shall be to you as the native-born among the sons
of Israel; they shall be allotted an inheritance with you among the tribes of
Israel. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 47:23
|
|
"And in the tribe with which the alien stays,
there you shall give him his inheritance," declares the Lord GOD. |
