1 A nd he brought me back to the door of the house; and behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the front of the house was eastward. And the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, south of the altar.

¶ 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.

2 A nd he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me round outside unto the outer gate towards that looketh eastward; and behold, waters ran out on the right side.

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.

3 W hen the man went forth eastward, a line was in his hand; and he measured a thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters: the waters were to the ankles.

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.

4 A nd he measured a thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters: the waters were to the knees. And he measured a thousand and caused me to pass through: the waters were to the loins.

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.

5 A nd he measured a thousand: it was a river that I could not pass through, for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed through.

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.

6 A nd he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen ? And he led me, and brought me back to the bank of the river.

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.

7 W hen I returned, behold, on the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.

And as I turned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.

8 A nd he said unto me, These waters issue out toward the east district, and go down into the plain, and go into the sea; when they are brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.

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.

9 A nd it shall come to pass that every living thing which moveth, whithersoever the double river shall come, shall live. And there shall be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters shall come thither, and shall be healed; and everything shall live whither the river cometh.

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.

10 A nd it shall come to pass, that fishers shall stand upon it; from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim shall be to spread forth nets: their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.

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.

11 B ut its marshes and its pools shall not be healed; they shall be given up to salt.

But the miry places thereof and the marshes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.

12 A nd by the river, upon its bank, on the one side and on the other, shall grow all trees for food, whose leaf shall not fade, nor their fruit fail: it shall bring forth new fruit every month, for its waters issue out of the sanctuary; and the fruit thereof shall be for food, and the leaf thereof for medicine.

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.

13 T hus saith the Lord Jehovah: This shall be the border whereby ye shall allot the land as inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph portions.

¶ 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.

14 A nd ye shall inherit it, one as well as another, concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it unto your fathers; and this land shall fall to you for inheritance.

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.

15 A nd this shall be the border of the land: toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Zedad,

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;

16 H amath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.

Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.

17 A nd the border from the sea shall be Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath: this is the north side.

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.

18 — And on the east side ye shall measure between Hauran and Damascus, and Gilead and the land of Israel the Jordan, from the border unto the east sea: this is the east side.

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.

19 — And the south side southward, from Tamar to the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, by the torrent, unto the great sea: this is the south side southward.

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.

20 — And the west side shall be the great sea from the border, as far as over against the entering into Hamath: this is the west side.

And to the west side the great sea shall be the border straight unto Hamath. This shall be the west side.

21 A nd ye shall divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.

So shall ye divide this land among you according to the tribes of Israel.

22 A nd 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 shall beget children among you; and they shall be unto you as the home-born among the children of Israel: with you shall they draw by lot inheritance among 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.

23 A nd it shall come to pass that in the tribe in which the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give his inheritance, saith the Lord Jehovah.

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.
