3
And when the man that had the line in his hand went fortheastward, he measured a thousandcubits, 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.
8
Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the eastcountry, 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 every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a verygreat multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the rivercometh.
10
And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forthnets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the greatsea,exceedingmany.
12
And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
13
Thus saith the LordGOD;This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve*tribes of Israel:Joseph shall have two portions.
