MLV(i)
1 And he brought me back to the door of the house. And behold, waters went forth out from under the threshold of the house eastward, for the forefront of the house was toward the east. And the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, on the south of the altar.
2 Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward and led me round by the way outside to the outer gate, by the way of the gate that looks toward the east. And behold, waters ran out on the right side.
3 When the man went forth eastward with the line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits and he caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the ankles. 4 Again he measured a thousand and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the loins. 5 Afterward he measured a thousand and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the waters have risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed through. 6 And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen this? Then he brought me and caused me to return to the bank of the river.
7 Now when I had returned, behold, upon the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other. 8 Then he said to me, These waters go forth toward the eastern region and will go down into the Arabah. And they will go toward the sea, into the sea which were made to go forth and the waters will be healed. 9 And it will happen, that every living creature which swarms, in every place where the rivers come, will live. And there will be a very great multitude of fish (for these waters have come there) and will be healed. And everything will live wherever the river comes.
