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.
