/Chapter 47

47 / 48

Ezekiel

ESV

Chapter 47

¹Then he brought me back to the door of the temple, and behold, water was issuing from below the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was flowing down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar. ²Then he brought me out by way of the north gate and led me around on the outside to the outer gate that faces toward the east; and behold, the water was trickling out on the south side. ³Going on eastward with a measuring line in his hand, the man measured a thousand cubits, and then led me through the water, and it was ankle-deep. ⁴Again he measured a thousand, and led me through the water, and it was knee-deep. Again he measured a thousand, and led me through the water, and it was waist-deep. ⁵Again he measured a thousand, and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the water had risen. It was deep enough to swim in, a river that could not be passed through. ⁶And he said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?” Then he led me back to the bank of the river. ⁷As I went back, behold, on the bank of the river there were very many trees on the one side and on the other. ⁸And he said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah, and enters the sea; when it empties into the sea, the water will become fresh. ⁹And wherever the river goes, every living creature that swarms will live, and there will be very many fish. For this water goes there, that the waters of the sea may become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes. ¹⁰Fishermen will stand beside it from Engedi to Eneglaim; it will be a place for the spreading of nets, its fish will be of many kinds, like the fish of the Great Sea. ¹¹But its swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they are to be given over to salt. ¹²And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither, nor their fruit fail, but every month they will bear new fruit, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing.” ¹³Thus says the Lord GOD: “This is the boundary by which you shall divide the land for inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph shall have two portions. ¹⁴And you shall divide it equally; I swore to give it to your fathers, and this land shall fall to you as your inheritance. ¹⁵This shall be the boundary of the land: On the north side, from the Great Sea by way of Hethlon to Lebo-hamath, and on to Zedad, ¹⁶Berothah, Sibraim (which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath), as far as Hazer-hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran. ¹⁷So the boundary shall run from the sea to Hazar-enan, with the border of Damascus to the north, and the border of Hamath to the north of it. This shall be the north side. ¹⁸On the east side, the boundary shall run from Hazar-enan to the border of Damascus, then southward to the border of Hauran and on to the border of Gilead with the land of Israel, to the Jordan, and from there to the Eastern Sea. This shall be the east side. ¹⁹On the south side, it shall run from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribah-kadesh, from there along the Brook of Egypt to the Great Sea. This shall be the south side. ²⁰On the west side, the Great Sea shall be the boundary to a point opposite Lebo-hamath. This shall be the west side. ²¹Thus you shall divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. ²²You shall allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the sojourners who reside among you and have had children among you. They shall be to you as native-born children of Israel. With you they shall be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel. ²³In whatever tribe the sojourner resides, there you shall allot him his inheritance, declares the Lord GOD.
