Ezekiel 47

1 And he brought back me to [the] entrance of the house and there! waters [were] going out from under [the] threshold of the house east-ward for [the] face of the house [was] east and the waters [were] going down from under from [the] side of the house south from [the] south of the altar.

And he turned me back to the gate of the house. And behold, waters went out, from under the threshold of the house, toward the east. For the face of the house looked toward the east. But the waters descended on the right side of the temple, toward the south of the altar.

2 And he brought out me [the] way of [the] gate north-ward and he brought round me [the] way of [the] outside to [the] gate of the outside [the] way which faces east and there! waters [were] trickling from the side south.

And he led me out, along the way of the north gate, and he turned me back toward the way outside the exterior gate, the way which looked toward the east. And behold, the waters overflowed on the right side.

3 When went out the man east and a measuring-line [was] in hand his and he measured out a thousand by the cubit and he made pass me in the waters waters of ankles.

Then the man who held the rope in his hand departed toward the east, and he measured one thousand cubits. And he led me forward, through the water, up to the ankles.

4 And he measured out a thousand [cubits] and he made pass me in the waters waters knees and he measured out a thousand [cubits] and he made pass through me waters of loins.

And again he measured one thousand, and he led me forward, through the water, up to the knees.

5 And he measured out a thousand [cubits] a river which not I was able to pass through for they had risen the waters waters of swimming a river which not it was passed through.

And he measured one thousand, and he led me forward, through the water, up to the waist. And he measured one thousand, into a torrent, through which I was not able to pass. For the waters had risen to become a profound torrent, which was not able to be crossed.

6 And he said to me ¿ do you see O son of humankind and he led me and he brought back me [the] bank of the river.

And he said to me: “Son of man, certainly you have seen.” And he led me out, and he turned me back to the bank of the torrent.

7 When had returned I and there! [was] to [the] bank of the river tree[s] many very from this and from this.

And when I had turned myself around, behold, on the bank of the torrent, there were very many trees on both sides.

8 And he said to me the waters these [are] going out to the territory eastern and they will go down to the Arabah and they will go the sea towards to the sea those [which] were brought out (and they will be healed *Q(k)*) the waters.

And he said to me: “These waters, which go forth toward the hillocks of sand to the east, and which descend to the plains of the desert, will enter the sea, and will go out, and the waters will be healed.

9 And it will be every creature living - which it swarms to every where it will go there two rivers it will live and it will be the fish many very for they have gone there towards the waters these so they may be healed and it will live every where it will go there towards the river.

And every living soul that moves, wherever the torrent arrives, will live. And there will be more than enough fish, after these waters have arrived there, and they will be healed. And all things will live, where the torrent arrives.

10 And it will be (they have stood *Q(K)*) at it fishermen from En Gedi and to En-eglaim a spreading place for nets they will be to kind its it will be fish their like [the] fish of the sea great many very.

And fishermen will stand over these waters. There will be the drying of nets, from Engedi even to Eneglaim. There will be very many kinds of fish within it: a very great multitude, like the fish of the great sea.

11 (Swamps its *Q(K)*) and marshes its and not they will be healed to salt they will be given.

But on its shore and in the marshes, they will not be healed. For these will be made into salt pits.

12 And at the river it will grow up on bank its from this - and from this - every tree of food not it will wither leafage its and not it will be finished fruit its to months its it will bear early fruit for waters its from the sanctuary they [are] coming out (and it will be *Q(K)*) fruit its for food and leafage its [will be] for healing.

And above the torrent, on its banks on both sides, every kind of fruit tree will rise up. Their foliage will not fall away, and their fruit will not fail. Every single month they will bring forth first-fruits. For its waters will go forth from the sanctuary. And its fruits will be for food, and its leaves will be for medicine.”

13 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh this [is the] boundary which you will give as possession the land to two [plus] ten [the] tribes of Israel Joseph measured portions.

Thus says the Lord God: “This is the border, by which you shall possess the land, in accord with the twelve tribes of Israel. For Joseph shall have a double portion.

14 And you will divide as possession it each like brother his which I lifted up hand my to give it to ancestors your and it will fall the land this to you an inheritance.

And you shall possess it, each one in equal manner as his brother. I lifted up my hand over it, so that I might give it to your fathers. And this land shall fall to you as a possession.

15 And this [is] [the] boundary of the land to [the] side of north-ward from the sea great the direction of Hethlon Lebo Zedad towards.

Now this is the border of the land toward the northern region, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, arriving at Zedad:

16 Hamath - Berothah Sibraim which [is] between [the] territory of Damascus and between [the] territory of Hamath Hazer-hattikon which [is] to [the] border of Hauran.

Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the confines of Hamath, the house of Ticon, which is beside the border of Hauran,

17 And it will be [the] boundary from the sea Hazar Enan [the] border of Damascus and north - north-ward and [the] territory of Hamath and [the] side of [the] north.

and the border will be from the sea, even to the entrance of Enon, at the border of Damascus, and from the north to the north, at the border of Hamath, on the northern side.

18 And [will be the] side of [the] east from between Hauran and from between Damascus and from between Gilead and from between [the] land of Israel the Jordan from [the] border to the sea eastern Tamar and [the] side east-ward.

Moreover, the eastern region will be from the midst of Hauran, and from the midst of Damascus, and from the midst of Gilead, and from the midst of the land of Israel, to the Jordan, marking the boundary to the eastern sea. For so shall you measure the eastern region.

19 And [the] side of [the] south south-ward [will be] from Tamar to [the] waters of Meribath Kadesh [the] wadi to the sea great and [the] side of south-ward south-ward.

Now the southern region, toward the meridian, will be from Tamar, even to the Waters of Contradiction at Kadesh, and from the Torrent, even to the great sea. And this is the southern region, toward the meridian.

20 And [the] side of [the] west [is] the sea great from [the] border to opposite Lebo Hamath this [is the] side of [the] west.

And the region toward the sea will have its confines from the great sea continuing directly until one arrives at Hamath. This is the region of the sea.

21 And you will divide the land this for yourselves to [the] tribes of Israel.

And you shall divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.

22 And it will be you will make fall it an inheritance for yourselves and for the sojourners who sojourn in midst of you who they have fathered children in midst of you and they will be to you like [the] native-born among [the] people of Israel with you they will fall an inheritance in among [the] tribes of Israel.

And you shall distribute it by lot as an inheritance, for yourselves and for the new arrival who will be added to you, who will conceive sons in your midst. And they shall be to you as the indigenous among the sons of Israel. They shall divide the possession with you, in the midst of the tribes of Israel.

23 And it will be in the tribe which he has sojourned the sojourner with it there you will give [him] inheritance his [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

And in whatever tribe the new arrival will be, there you shall give a possession to him, says the Lord God.”
