1. Afterward he brought me again to the door of the house; and, behold, waters flowed out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the front of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.
2. Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me around the way outside to the outer gate by the way that looks eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
3. And when the man who had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.
4. 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. Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.
6. And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the bank of the river.
7. Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
8. Then he said to me, These waters flow out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
9. And it shall come to pass, that everything that lives, which moves, wherever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come there: for they shall be healed; and everything shall live where the river comes.
10. And it shall come to pass, that the fishermen shall stand upon it from En-gedi even to En-eglaim; there shall be a place to spread out nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, like the fish of the great sea, exceedingly many.
11. But the miry places thereof and the marshes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.
12. And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for food, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to its months, because their waters they flowed out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for food, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
13. Thus says the Lord GOD; This shall be the boundary, by which you shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.
14. And you shall inherit it, one as well as another: concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers: and this land shall fall to you for an inheritance.
15. And this shall be the boundary of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;
16. Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazar-hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.
17. And the border from the sea shall be Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus, and the north border northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.
18. And the east side you shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by the Jordan, from the border to the east sea. And this is the east side.
19. And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.
20. The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till one comes opposite Hamath. This is the west side.
21. So shall you divide this land for yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.
22. And it shall come to pass, that you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance for you, and for the strangers that sojourn among you, who shall beget children among you: and they shall be to you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have an inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
23. And it shall come to pass, that in whatever tribe the stranger sojourns, there shall you give him his inheritance, says the Lord GOD.
