WEB·Ezekiel 47

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.

KJVAfterward he brought me again^H7725^(H8686) unto the door^H6607 of the house^H1004; and, behold, waters^H4325 issued out^H3318^(H8802) from under the threshold^H4670 of the house^H1004 eastward^H6921: for the forefront^H6440 of the house^H1004 stood toward the east^H6921, and the waters^H4325 came down^H3381^(H8802) from under from the right^H3233 side^H3802 of the house^H1004, at the south^H5045 side of the altar^H4196.

² Then 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.

KJVThen brought he me out^H3318^(H8686) of the way^H1870 of the gate^H8179 northward^H6828, and led me about^H5437^(H8686) the way^H1870 without unto the utter^H2351 gate^H8179 by the way^H1870 that looketh^H6437^(H8802) eastward^H6921; and, behold, there ran out^H6379^(H8764) waters^H4325 on the right^H3233 side^H3802.

³ When 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.

KJVAnd when the man^H376 that had the line^H6957 in his hand^H3027 went forth^H3318^(H8800) eastward^H6921, he measured^H4058^(H8799) a thousand^H505 cubits^H520, and he brought me through^H5674^(H8686) the waters^H4325; the waters^H4325 were to the ankles^H657.

⁴ Again 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.

KJVAgain he measured^H4058^(H8799) a thousand^H505, and brought me through^H5674^(H8686) the waters^H4325; the waters^H4325 were to the knees^H1290. Again he measured^H4058^(H8799) a thousand^H505, and brought me through^H5674^(H8686); the waters^H4325 were to the loins^H4975.

⁵ Afterward 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.

KJVAfterward he measured^H4058^(H8799) a thousand^H505; and it was a river^H5158 that I could^H3201^(H8799) not pass over^H5674^(H8800): for the waters^H4325 were risen^H1342^(H8804), waters^H4325 to swim in^H7813, a river^H5158 that could not be passed over^H5674^(H8735).

⁶ 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.

KJVAnd he said^H559^(H8799) unto me, Son^H1121 of man^H120, hast thou seen^H7200^(H8804) this? Then he brought^H3212^(H8686) me, and caused me to return^H7725^(H8686) to the brink^H8193 of the river^H5158.

⁷ Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.

KJVNow when I had returned^H7725^(H8800), behold, at the bank^H8193 of the river^H5158 were very^H3966 many^H7227 trees^H6086 on the one side and on the other.

⁸ Then 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.

KJVThen said^H559^(H8799) he unto me, These waters^H4325 issue out^H3318^(H8802) toward the east^H6930 country^H1552, and go down^H3381^(H8804) into the desert^H6160, and go^H935^(H8804) into the sea^H3220: which being brought forth^H3318^(H8716) into the sea^H3220, the waters^H4325 shall be healed^H7495^(H8738).

⁹ It 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.

KJVAnd it shall come to pass, that every thing^H5315 that liveth^H2416, which moveth^H8317^(H8799), whithersoever the rivers^H5158 shall come^H935^(H8799), shall live^H2421^(H8799): and there shall be a very^H3966 great^H7227 multitude of fish^H1710, because these waters^H4325 shall come^H935^(H8804) thither: for they shall be healed^H7495^(H8735); and every thing shall live^H2425^(H8804) whither the river^H5158 cometh^H935^(H8799).

¹⁰ It 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.

KJVAnd it shall come to pass, that the fishers^H1728 shall stand^H5975^(H8804)^(H8675)^H5975^(H8799) upon it from Engedi^H5872 even unto Eneglaim^H5882; they shall be a place to spread forth^H4894 nets^H2764; their fish^H1710 shall be according to their kinds^H4327, as the fish^H1710 of the great^H1419 sea^H3220, exceeding^H3966 many^H7227.

¹¹ But its swamps and marshes will not be healed. They will be given up to salt.

KJVBut the miry places^H1207 thereof and the marishes^H1360 thereof shall not be healed^H7495^(H8735); they shall be given^H5414^(H8738) to salt^H4417.

¹² By 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.”

KJVAnd by the river^H5158 upon the bank^H8193 thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow^H5927^(H8799) all trees^H6086 for meat^H3978, whose leaf^H5929 shall not fade^H5034^(H8799), neither shall the fruit^H6529 thereof be consumed^H8552^(H8799): it shall bring forth new fruit^H1069^(H8762) according to his months^H2320, because their waters^H4325 they issued out^H3318^(H8802) of the sanctuary^H4720: and the fruit^H6529 thereof shall be for meat^H3978, and the leaf^H5929 thereof for medicine^H8644.

¹³ The Lord Yahweh 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.

KJVThus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; This^H1454 shall be the border^H1366, whereby ye shall inherit^H5157^(H8691) the land^H776 according to the twelve^H8147^H6240 tribes^H7626 of Israel^H3478: Joseph^H3130 shall have two portions^H2256.

¹⁴ You 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.

KJVAnd ye shall inherit^H5157^(H8804) it, one^H376 as well as another^H251: concerning the which I lifted up^H5375^(H8804) mine hand^H3027 to give^H5414^(H8800) it unto your fathers^H1: and this land^H776 shall fall^H5307^(H8804) unto you for inheritance^H5159.

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;

KJVAnd this shall be the border^H1366 of the land^H776 toward the north^H6828 side^H6285, from the great^H1419 sea^H3220, the way^H1870 of Hethlon^H2855, as men go^H935^(H8800) to Zedad^H6657;

¹⁶ Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim (which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath), to Hazer Hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.

KJVHamath^H2574, Berothah^H1268, Sibraim^H5453, which is between the border^H1366 of Damascus^H1834 and the border^H1366 of Hamath^H2574; Hazarhatticon^H2694, which is by the coast^H1366 of Hauran^H2362.

¹⁷ The 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.

KJVAnd the border^H1366 from the sea^H3220 shall be Hazarenan^H2703, the border^H1366 of Damascus^H1834, and the north^H6828 northward^H6828, and the border^H1366 of Hamath^H2574. And this is the north^H6828 side^H6285.

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.

KJVAnd the east^H6921 side^H6285 ye shall measure^H4058^(H8799) from^H996 Hauran^H2362, and from^H996 Damascus^H1834, and from^H996 Gilead^H1568, and from^H996 the land^H776 of Israel^H3478 by Jordan^H3383, from the border^H1366 unto the east^H6931 sea^H3220. And this is the east^H6921 side^H6285.

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.

KJVAnd the south^H5045 side^H6285 southward^H8486, from Tamar^H8559 even to the waters^H4325 of strife^H4808^(H8677)^H4809 in Kadesh^H6946, the river^H5158 to the great^H1419 sea^H3220. And this is the south^H8486 side^H6285 southward^H5045.

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.

KJVThe west^H3220 side^H6285 also shall be the great^H1419 sea^H3220 from the border^H1366, till a man come^H935^(H8800) over against^H5227 Hamath^H2574. This is the west^H3220 side^H6285.

²¹ “So you shall divide this land to yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.

KJVSo shall ye divide^H2505^(H8765) this land^H776 unto you according to the tribes^H7626 of Israel^H3478.

²² You 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.

KJVAnd it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide^H5307^(H8686) it by lot for an inheritance^H5159 unto you, and to the strangers^H1616 that sojourn^H1481^(H8802) among^H8432 you, which shall beget^H3205^(H8689) children^H1121 among^H8432 you: and they shall be unto you as born^H249 in the country^H249 among the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478; they shall have^H5307^(H8799) inheritance^H5159 with you among^H8432 the tribes^H7626 of Israel^H3478.

²³ In whatever tribe the stranger lives, there you shall give him his inheritance,” says the Lord Yahweh.

KJVAnd it shall come to pass, that in what tribe^H7626 the stranger^H1616 sojourneth^H1481^(H8804), there shall ye give^H5414^(H8799) him his inheritance^H5159, saith^H5002^(H8803) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069.

¹⁶ “‘The Lord Yahweh says: “If the prince gives a gift to any of his sons, it is his inheritance. It shall belong to his sons. It is their possession by inheritance.

¹⁷ But if he gives of his inheritance a gift to one of his servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince; but as for his inheritance, it shall be for his sons.

KJVBut if he give^H5414^(H8799) a gift^H4979 of his inheritance^H5159 to one^H259 of his servants^H5650, then it shall be his to the year^H8141 of liberty^H1865; after it shall return^H7725^(H8804) to the prince^H5387: but his inheritance^H5159 shall be his sons^H1121' for them.

¹⁸ Moreover the prince shall not take of the people’s inheritance, to thrust them out of their possession. He shall give inheritance to his sons out of his own possession, that my people not each be scattered from his possession.”’”

KJVMoreover the prince^H5387 shall not take^H3947^(H8799) of the people's^H5971 inheritance^H5159 by oppression^H3238^(H8687), to thrust^H3238^(H8687) them out of their possession^H272; but he shall give his sons^H1121 inheritance^H5157^(H8686) out of his own possession^H272: that my people^H5971 be not scattered^H6327^(H8799) every man^H376 from his possession^H272.

¹⁹ Then he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy rooms for the priests, which looked toward the north. Behold, there was a place on the back part westward.

KJVAfter he brought^H935^(H8686) me through the entry^H3996, which was at the side^H3802 of the gate^H8179, into the holy^H6944 chambers^H3957 of the priests^H3548, which looked^H6437^(H8802) toward the north^H6828: and, behold, there was a place^H4725 on the two sides^H3411 westward^H3220.

²⁰ He said to me, “This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bake the meal offering, that they not bring them out into the outer court, to sanctify the people.”

KJVThen said^H559^(H8799) he unto me, This is the place^H4725 where the priests^H3548 shall boil^H1310^(H8762) the trespass offering^H817 and the sin offering^H2403, where they shall bake^H644^(H8799) the meat offering^H4503; that they bear^H3318^(H8687) them not out into the utter^H2435 court^H2691, to sanctify^H6942^(H8763) the people^H5971.

²¹ Then he brought me out into the outer court and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and behold, in every corner of the court there was a court.

KJVThen he brought me forth^H3318^(H8686) into the utter^H2435 court^H2691, and caused me to pass by^H5674^(H8686) the four^H702 corners^H4740 of the court^H2691; and, behold, in every^H4740 corner^H4740 of the court^H2691^H2691 there was a court^H2691.

²² In the four corners of the court there were courts enclosed, forty cubits long and thirty wide. These four in the corners were the same size.

KJVIn the four^H702 corners^H4740 of the court^H2691 there were courts^H2691 joined^H7000^(H8803) of forty^H705 cubits long^H753 and thirty^H7970 broad^H7341: these four^H702 corners^H7106^(H8716) were of one^H259 measure^H4060.

²³ There was a wall around in them, around the four, and boiling places were made under the walls all around.

KJVAnd there was a row^H2905 of building round about^H5439 in them, round about^H5439 them four^H702, and it was made^H6213^(H8803) with boiling places^H4018 under the rows^H2918 round about^H5439.

²⁴ Then he said to me, “These are the boiling houses, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.”

KJVThen said^H559^(H8799) he unto me, These are the places^H1004 of them that boil^H1310^(H8764), where the ministers^H8334^(H8764) of the house^H1004 shall boil^H1310^(H8762) the sacrifice^H2077 of the people^H5971.
