Ezekiel 47 📜 📕 ↷
Waters from under the Temple
1 AND he turned me to the gate of the house, and behold waters issued forth under the threshold of the house toward the East: for the face of the house looked to the East: but the waters descended into the right side of the temple to the South part of the altar.📜💬📚
2 And he led me out by the way of the North gate, and he turned me to the way without the utter gate, the way that looked to the East: and behold waters flowing on the right side.📜💬📚
3 When the man went out toward the East, that had the cord in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits: and he brought me through the water even to the ankles.📜💬📚
4 And again he measured a thousand, & he brought me through the water even to the knees:📜💬📚
5 and he measured a thousand, and he brought me through the water even to the reins. And he measured a thousand, a torrent which I could not pass over, because the waters were risen of the deep torrent which can not be passed over.📜💬📚
6 And he said to me: Certes thou hast seen o son of man. And he brought me out, and he turned me to the bank of the torrent.📜💬📚
7 And when I had turned my self, behold in the bank of the torrent exceeding many trees on both sides.📜💬📚
8 And he said to me: These waters, that issue forth toward the heaps of the sand in the East, and descend to the plains of the desert, shall go into the sea, & shall go out, & the waters shall be healed.📜💬📚
9 And every living soul, that creepeth, whither soever the torrent cometh shall live: and there shall be fishes very many after these waters are come thither, and they shall be healed, and all things shall live, to which the torrent shall come.📜💬📚
10 And fishers shall stand over them, from Engaddi even to Engallim shall be drying of nets: there shall be very many sorts of fishes thereof, as the fishes of the great sea, of a passing great multitude:📜💬📚
11 but in the shore thereof, & in the fenny places they shall not be healed, because they shall be turned into salt pits.📜💬📚
12 And over the torrent shall rise in the banks thereof on both sides every tree bearing fruit: the leaf shall not fall from it, & the fruit thereof shall not fail: every month shall it bring forth first fruits, because the waters thereof shall issue out of the sanctuary: & the fruits thereof shall be for meat, & the leaves thereof for medicine.📜💬📚
