1
And he returned me unto▵ the entrance of the house ; and, behold, waters went··out from under the threshold of the house eastward; for the face of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came··down from under from the right wing◦ of the house , at the south side of the altar .
2
And he brought· me ·out of the way of the gate northward , and turned· me ·around the way outside to▵ the gate outside by the way facing east; and, behold, there ran··out waters from the right wing◦.
3
When the man ◦ went··out eastward, and a line in his hand , he measured a thousand cubits, and he made me cross··through in the waters; the waters were to the ankles◦.
4
And he measured a thousand , and made me pass ··through the waters; the waters were to the knees . And he measured a thousand , and made me pass ··through; the waters were to the loins .
5
And he measured a thousand , and it was a brook that I was· not ·able to pass ··through; for the waters were risen ··up◦, waters of swimming, a brook that he did not pass ··through.
6
And he said unto▵ me, Son of man , hast thou seen this? And he made me go and return to the lip of the brook .
7
And when I had returned , behold, at▵ the lip of the brook were very many trees on this side and on that▵.
8
And he said to▵ me, These waters went··out toward▵ the east boundary, and go ··down upon the desert, and come toward▵ the sea ; to the sea they are brought··out, and the waters shall be healed.
9
And it shall be, that every soul that is alive, which crawls, whithersoever the brooks shall come , shall live; and there shall be very many fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the brook comes .
10
And it shall be, that the fishers shall stand on it from En-gedi and even··to Eneglaim; they shall be a place for spreading▵ nets◦; their fish shall be according··to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea , exceedingly many .
11
But the quagmires of it and the marshes of it shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt .
12
And by◦ the brook on its lip , on this side and on that▵ side , shall come··up every tree for food; its leaf shall not fade, and its fruit shall not be finished; it shall renew· its ·firstfruits according··to▵ its months , for its waters, they◦ go··out from the sanctuary; and its fruit shall be for food, and its leaf for healing.
13
Thus says the Lord Jehovih*; This▵ shall be the border , by which you shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes ◦ of Israel ; Joseph shall have two regions.
14
And you shall inherit it, a man ◦ as his brother ; for which I lifted My hand to give it to your fathers : and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance .
15
And this shall be the border of the land toward◦ the north quarter , from the great sea , the way of Hethlon, as men go··in to Zedad;
16
Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is toward▵ the border of Hauran.
17
And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan, the border of Damascus , and the north northward , and the border of Hamath. And this is the north quarter .
18
And the east quarter you shall measure from between Hauran, and from Damascus , and from Gilead , and from the land of Israel by Jordan , from the border by◦ the eastern sea . And this is the east quarter .
19
And the south quarter southward ◦, from Tamar even··to the waters of strife in Kadesh , the brook to▵ the great sea . And this is the south ◦ quarter southward .
20
And the west◦ quarter shall be the great sea from the border , until one comes up··against Hamath. This is the west◦ quarter .
21
And you shall part this land to yourselves for the tribes ◦ of Israel .
22
And it shall be, that you shall allot◦ it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the sojourners that sojourn in your midst , which shall beget sons in your midst ; and they shall be to you as natives among◦ the sons of Israel ; they shall allot◦ an inheritance with you in the midst of the tribes ◦ of Israel .
23
And it shall be, that in the tribe◦ where▵ the sojourner sojourns, shall you give him his inheritance , says ◦ the Lord Jehovih .
