Ezequiel 47
Brenton's English Septuagint
1And he brought me to the Gr. plural entrance of the house; and, behold, water issued from under the porch eastward, for the front of the house looked eastward; and the water came down from the right side, from the south to the altar.
2And he brought me out by the way of the northern gate, and he led me round by the way outside to the gate of the court that looks eastward; and, behold, water came down from the right side,
3Or, at the same time that in the direction in which a man went forth opposite; and there was a measuring line in his hand, and he measured a thousand cubits with the measure;
4and he passed through the water; it was water Heb. of ankles, q. d. up to the ankles of a fountain: and again he measured a thousand, and passed through the water; and the water was up to the thighs: and again he measured a thousand; and he passed through water up to the loins.
5and again he measured a thousand; and he could not pass through: for the water Lit. acted proudly rose as of a torrent which men cannot pass over.
6And he said to me, Hast thou seen this, son of man? Then he brought me, and led me back to the brink of the river
7as I returned; and, behold, on the brink of the river there were very many trees on this side and on that side.
8And he said to me, This is the water that goes forth to Galilee that lies eastward, and it is gone down to Arabia, and has reached as far as to the sea to the outlet of the water: and it shall heal the waters.
9And it shall come to pass, that every animal of living and moving creatures, all on which the river shall come, shall live: and there shall be there very many fish; for this water Gr. comes, or, is come shall go thither, and it shall heal them, and they shall live: everything on which the river shall come shall live.
10And fishers shall stand there from Ingadin to Enagallim; it shall be a place to spread out nets upon; it shall be distinct; and the fishes thereof shall be as the fishes of the great sea, a very great multitude.
11But at the outlet of the water, and the turn of it, and where it overflows its banks, they shall not heal at all; they are given to salt.
12And every fruit tree shall grow by the river, even on the bank of it on this side and on that side: Gr. singular they shall not decay upon it, neither shall their fruit fail: they shall bring forth the first-fruit Gr. of its newness; See Hebrew of their early crop, for these their waters come forth of the sanctuary: and their fruit shall be for meat, and their foliage for health.
13Thus saith the Lord God; Ye shall inherit these borders of the land; Gr. they are the addition of a line they are given by lot to the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
14And ye shall inherit it, each according to his brother’s portion, even the land concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers: and this land shall fall to you by lot.
15And these are the borders of the land that lies northward, from the great sea that comes down, and divides the entrance of Emaseldam;
16Maabthera, Ebrameliam, between the coasts of Damascus and the coasts of Emathi, the habitation of Saunan, which places are above the coasts of Auranitis.
17These are the borders from the sea, from the habitations of Ænan, the coasts of Damascus, and the northern coasts.
18And the eastern coasts between Loranitis, and Damascus, and the land of Galaad, and the land of Israel, Alex. +’and the border of Amath shall be the northern border’ the Jordan divides to the sea that is east of the city of palm-trees. These are the eastern coasts.
19And the southern and south-western coasts are from Thaeman and the city of palm-trees, to the water of Marimoth Cadem, reaching forth to the great sea. This part is the south and south-west.
20This part of the great sea forms a border, till one comes opposite the entrance of Emath, even as far as the entrance thereof. These are the parts west of Emath.
21So ye shall divide this land to them, even to the tribes of Israel.
22Lit. Ye shall cast it; i. e. measure it my lot Ye shall cast the lot upon it, for yourselves and the strangers that sojourn in the midst of you, who have begotten children in the midst of you: and they shall be to you as natives among the children of Israel; they shall eat with you in their inheritance in the midst of the tribes of Israel.
23And they shall be in the tribe of proselytes among the proselytes that are with them: there shall ye give them an inheritance, saith the Lord God.
Reina-Valera 1909
1HÍZOME tornar luego á la entrada de la casa; y he aquí aguas que salían de debajo del umbral de la casa hacia el oriente: porque la fachada de la casa estaba al oriente: y las aguas descendían de debajo, hacia el lado derecho de la casa, al mediodía del altar.
2Y sacóme por el camino de la puerta del norte, é hízome rodear por el camino fuera de la puerta, por de fuera al camino de la que mira al oriente: y he aquí las aguas que salían al lado derecho.
3Y saliendo el varón hacia el oriente, tenía un cordel en su mano; y midió mil codos, é hízome pasar por las aguas hasta los tobillos.
4Y midió otros mil, é hízome pasar por las aguas hasta las rodillas. Midió luego otros mil, é hízome pasar por las aguas hasta los lomos.
5Y midió otros mil, é iba ya el arroyo que yo no podía pasar: porque las aguas se habían alzado, y el arroyo no se podía pasar sino á nado.
6Y díjome: ¿Has visto, hijo del hombre? Después me llevó, é hízome tornar por la ribera del arroyo.
7Y tornando yo, he aquí en la ribera del arroyo había árboles muy muchos de la una parte y de la otra.
8Y díjome: Estas aguas salen á la región del oriente, y descenderán á la llanura, y entrarán en la mar: y entradas en la mar, recibirán sanidad las aguas.
9Y será que toda alma viviente que nadare por donde quiera que entraren estos dos arroyos, vivirá: y habrá muy muchos peces por haber entrado allá estas aguas, y recibirán sanidad; y vivirá todo lo que entrare en este arroyo.
10Y será que junto á él estarán pescadores; y desde En-gadi hasta En-eglaim será tendedero de redes: en su clase será su pescado como el pescado de la gran mar, mucho en gran manera.
11Sus charcos y sus lagunas no se sanarán; quedarán para salinas.
12Y junto al arroyo, en su ribera de una parte y de otra, crecerá todo árbol de comer: su hoja nunca caerá, ni faltará su fruto: á sus meses madurará, porque sus aguas salen del santuario: y su fruto será para comer, y su hoja para medicina.
13Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: Este es el término en que partiréis la tierra en heredad entre las doce tribus de Israel: José dos partes.
14Y la heredaréis así los unos como los otros: por ella alcé mi mano que la había de dar á vuestros padres: por tanto, esta tierra os caerá en heredad.
15Y este será el término de la tierra hacia la parte del norte; desde la gran mar, camino de Hethlon viniendo á Sedad;
16Hamath, Berotha, Sibrahim, que está entre el término de Damasco y el término de Hamath; Haser-hatticon, que es el término de Hauran.
17Y será el término del norte desde la mar de Haser-enon al término de Damasco al norte, y al término de Hamath al lado del norte.
18Al lado del oriente, por medio de Hauran y de Damasco, y de Galaad, y de la tierra de Israel, al Jordán: esto mediréis de término hasta la mar del oriente.
19Y al lado del mediodía, hacia el mediodía, desde Tamar hasta las aguas de las rencillas; desde Cades y el arroyo hasta la gran mar: y esto será el lado austral, al mediodía.
20Y al lado del occidente la gran mar será el término hasta en derecho para venir á Hamath: este será el lado del occidente.
21Partiréis, pues, esta tierra entre vosotros por las tribus de Israel.
22Y será que echaréis sobre ella suertes por herencia para vosotros, y para los extranjeros que peregrinan entre vosotros, que entre vosotros han engendrado hijos: y los tendréis como naturales entre los hijos de Israel; echarán suertes con vosotros para heredarse entre las tribus de Israel.
23Y será que en la tribu en que peregrinare el extranjero, allí le daréis su heredad, ha dicho el Señor Jehová.
King James Version
1Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.
2Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
3And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.
4Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.
5Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.
6And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.
7Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
8Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
9And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.
10And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
11But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.
12And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
13Thus saith the Lord GOD; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.
14And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.
15And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;
16Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazar-hatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.
17And the border from the sea shall be Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.
18And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side.
19And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.
20The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side.
21So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.
22And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
23And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord GOD.
World English Bible
1He brought me back to the door of the temple; and behold, waters flowed out from under the threshold of the temple eastward, for the front of the temple faced toward the east. The waters came down from underneath, from the right side of the temple, on the south of the altar.
2Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me around by the way outside to the outer gate, by the way of the gate that looks toward the east. Behold, waters ran out on the right side.
3When the man went out eastward with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the ankles.
4Again he measured one thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the knees. Again he measured one thousand, and caused me to pass through waters that were to the waist.
5Afterward he measured one thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the waters had risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be walked through.
6He 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.
7Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
8Then he said to me, “These waters flow out toward the eastern region and will go down into the Arabah. Then they will go toward the sea and flow into the sea which will be made to flow out; and the waters will be healed.
9It will happen that every living creature which swarms, in every place where the rivers come, will live. Then there will be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters have come there, and the waters of the sea will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river comes.
10It will happen that fishermen will stand by it. From En Gedi even to En Eglaim will be a place for the spreading of nets. Their fish will be after their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceedingly many.
11But its swamps and marshes will not be healed. They will be given up to salt.
12By the river banks, on both sides, will grow every tree for food, whose leaf won’t wither, neither will its fruit fail. It will produce new fruit every month, because its waters issue out of the sanctuary. Its fruit will be for food, and its leaf for healing.”
13The Lord GOD says: “This shall be the border by which you shall divide the land for inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph shall have two portions.
14You shall inherit it, one as well as another; for I swore to give it to your fathers. This land will fall to you for inheritance.
15“This shall be the border of the land: “On the north side, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, to the entrance of Zedad;
16Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim (which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath), to Hazer Hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.
17The border from the sea shall be Hazar Enon at the border of Damascus; and on the north northward is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.
18“The east side, between Hauran, Damascus, Gilead, and the land of Israel, shall be the Jordan; from the north border to the east sea you shall measure. This is the east side.
19“The south side southward shall be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meriboth Kadesh, to the brook, to the great sea. This is the south side southward.
20“The west side shall be the great sea, from the south border as far as opposite the entrance of Hamath. This is the west side.
21“So you shall divide this land to yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.
22You shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you and to the aliens who live among you, who will father children among you. Then they shall be to you as the native-born among the children of Israel. They shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
23In whatever tribe the stranger lives, there you shall give him his inheritance,” says the Lord GOD.
