Rotherham(i)
1 Then he brought me back unto the entrance of the house, and lo! waters, coming forth from under the threshold of the house, eastward, because, the front of the house, was to the east,––and, the waters, were coming down from beneath, from the right side of the house, on the south of the altar.
2 Then he brought me out by way of the north gate, and took me round by an outer way, unto an outer gate, that which looketh eastward––and lo! waters, trickling forth out of the right side.
3 When the man went forth with a measuring line in his hand, then measured he a thousand, by the cubit, and caused me to pass through the waters––waters reaching to the ankles.
4 Then measured he a thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters––waters reaching to the knees,––and again measured he a thousand, and caused me to pass through––waters reaching to the loins.
5 Then measured he a thousand––a river, which I could not pass through––for the waters had risen––waters to swim in, a river, that could not be forded.
6 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen, son of man? Then he took me along and caused me to return to the bank of the river.
7 When I returned, then lo! by the hank of the river, trees very many,––on this, side, and on that, side.
8 And he said unto me, These waters, are going forth unto the region toward the east, and shall go down unto the waste plain, and shall enter the sea, unto the sea, being led forth, then shall the waters, be healed;
9 And it shall come to pass, that, every living soul that swarmeth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live, and the fish shall become, a very great multitude; for these waters, have come thither, that they may be healed, so shall everything live, whithersoever the river cometh.
10 And it shall come to pass that there shall stand by it fishers, from En–gedi even unto En–eglaim, places for spreading out nets, shall they be,––after their kind, shall be their fish, like the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
11 The swamps thereof and the pools thereof, shall not be healed, to salt, have they been given up.
12 And, by the river, shall grow up on the bank thereof, on this, side and on that, side, every tree for food, the leaf whereof, shall not fade,––neither shall fail, the fruit thereof, by its months, shall it break forth, for, as for the waters thereof, out of the sanctuary, are they, coming forth,––and, the fruit, thereof shall be, for food, and, the leaf thereof, for healing.
