Ezekiel 47:1-8

Leeser(i) 1 And he brought me back again unto the door of the house: and, behold, water was issuing out from under the threshold of the house eastward; for the front of the house stood toward the east; and the water came down from under the threshold, from the right side of the house, to the south of the altar. 2 Then did he bring me out by the way of the gate northwards and led me about the way without unto the outer gate by the way that looked eastward: and, behold, the water was running on the right side. 3 When the man went forth eastward, having the measuring-line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he led me through the water, the water reaching to the ankles. 4 Again he measured a thousand cubits, and led me through the water, the water reaching to the knees. Again he measured a thousand cubits, and led me through, the water reaching to the loins. 5 And he measured again a thousand cubits, it being a stream that I could not wade through; for the water was increased, being water fit to swim in, a stream that could not be waded through. 6 And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this: Then did he lead me, and caused me to return to the bank of the stream. 7 Now when I returned, behold, there were at the banks of the stream very many trees, on the one side and on the other. 8 Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the eastern district, and go down into the plain, and fall into the sea, the waters being carried forth into the sea, so that the waters shall be healed.
