1
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
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
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
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; a river that could not be passed over without swimming.
6
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
And as I turned, behold, at the bank of the river
were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
8
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
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
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.
