1After this he brought me again before the door of the house: and behold, there gushed out waters from under the posts of the house eastward (for the house stood toward the east) that ran down upon the right side of the house, which lieth to the altar southward.
2Then carried he me out to the north door, and brought me forth there round about by the utmost door that turneth east ward. Behold, there came forth the water upon the right side.
3Now when the man that had the meterod in his hand went (out) unto the east door, he measured a thousand cubits, and then he brought me thorow the water, even to the ankles:
4so he measured yet a thousand, and brought me thorow the water again unto the knees: yet measured he a thousand, and brought me thorow the waters unto the loins.
5After this he measured a thousand again, then was it such a river, that I might not wade thorow it: The water was so deep, that it was needful to have swimmed, for it might not be waded over.
6And he said unto me: hast thou seen this, O thou son of man? And with that, he brought me to the river bank again.
7Now when I came there, there stood many trees upon either side of the river bank.
8Then said he unto me: This water that floweth out toward the East, and runneth down into the plain field, cometh into the sea: and from the sea it runneth out, and maketh the waters whole.
9Yea all that live and move, where unto this river cometh, shall recover. And where this water cometh, there shall be much(many) fish; For all that cometh to this water, shall be lusty and whole.
10By this river shall the fishers stand from Engadi unto En Eglaim, and there spread out their nets: for there shall be great heaps of fish, like as in the main sea.
11As for his clay and pits, they shall not be whole, for why, it shall be occupied for salt.
12By this river upon both the sides of the shore, there shall grow all manner of fruitful trees, whose leaves shall not fall off, neither shall their fruit perish: but ever be ripe at their months, for their water runneth out of the Sanctuary. His fruit is good to eat, and his leaf profitable for medicine.
13Thus sayeth the Lord GOD:(LORDE God) Let this be the border, wherein ye shall divide the land unto the twelve tribes of Israel, with the line.
14Part it indifferently unto one as unto another: of the which land I swore unto your fathers, that it should fall to your inheritance.
15This is the border of the land upon the north side, from the main sea, as men go to Zadada:
16namely Hemath, Berotha, Sabarim: from the borders of Damascus and Hemath unto Hazar Tichon, and that lieth upon the coasts of Haueran.
17Thus the borders from the sea forth, shall be Hazar Euan, the border of Damascus the North, and the borders of Hemath. That is the north part.
18The east side shall ye measure from Haueran and Damascus, from Gilead and the land of Israel by Jordan and so forth, from the sea coast, that lieth eastward. And this is the East part.
19The south side is, from Thamar forth to the waters of strife unto Cades, the river, to the main sea: and that is the south part.
20The west part: namely the great sea from the borders thereof, till a man come unto Hemath: this is the west part.
21This land shall ye part among you, according to the tribes of Israel,
22and divide it to be an heritage for you, and for the strangers that dwell among you, and begotten children. For ye shall take them among the children of Israel, like as though they were of your own household and country, and they shall have heritage with you among the children of Israel.
23Look in what tribe the stranger dwelleth, in the same tribe shall ye give him his heritage, sayeth the Lord GOD.(LORDE God)
