Ezekiel 47

vayeshiveni el-petakh habbayit vehinneh-mayim yotse'im mittakhat miftan habbayit qadimah ki-fene habbayit qadim vehammayim yoredim mittakhat mikketef habbayit hayemanit minnegev lammizbeakh

I was led back to the entrance of the temple, and I found that water was issuing from below the platform of the temple—eastward, since the temple faced east—but the water was running out at the south of the altar, under the south wall of the temple.

vayyotsi'eni derekh-sha'ar tsafonah vayesibbeni derekh khuts el-sha'ar hakhuts derekh happoneh qadim vehinneh-mayim mefakkim min-hakkatef hayemanit

Then he led me out by way of the northern gate and led me around to the outside of the outer gate that faces in the direction of the east; and I found that water was gushing from [under] the south wall.

betset-ha'ish qadim veqav beyado vayyamod elef ba'ammah vayya'avireni vammayim me ofsayim

As that figure went on eastward with a measuring line in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits and led me across the water; the water was ankle deep.

vayyamod elef vayya'avireni vammayim mayim birkayim vayyamod elef vayya'avireni me motnayim

Then he measured off another thousand and led me across the water; the water was knee deep. He measured off a further thousand and led me across the water; the water was up to the waist.

vayyamod elef nakhal asher lo-ukhal la'avor ki-ga'u hammayim me sakhu nakhal asher lo-ye'aver

When he measured yet another thousand, it was a stream I could not cross; for the water had swollen into a stream that could not be crossed except by swimming.

vayyomer elay hara'ita ven-adam vayyolikheni vayeshiveni sefat hannakhal

“Do you see, O mortal?” he said to me; and he led me back to the bank of the stream.

beshuveni vehinneh el-sefat hannakhal ets rav me'od mizzeh umizzeh

As I came back, I saw trees in great profusion on both banks of the stream.

vayyomer elay hammayim ha'elleh yotse'im el-haggelilah haqqadmonah veyaredu al-ha'aravah uva'u hayyammah el-hayyammah hammutsa'im venirpu hammayim

“This water,” he told me, “runs out to the eastern region, and flows into the Arabah; and when it comes into the sea, into the sea of foul waters, the water will become wholesome.

vehayah khol-nefesh khayyah asher-yishrots el kol-asher yavo sham nakhalayim yikhyeh vehayah haddagah rabbah me'od ki va'u shammah hammayim ha'elleh veyerafe'u vakhay kol asher-yavo shammah hannakhal

Every living creature that swarms will be able to live wherever this stream goes; the fish will be very abundant once these waters have reached there. It will be wholesome, and everything will live wherever this stream goes.

vehayah (ymdv) [amedu] alayw davvagim me'en gedi ve'ad-en eglayim mishtoakh lakharamim yihyu leminah tihyeh degatam kidgat hayyam haggadol rabbah me'od

Fishermen shall stand beside it all the way from En-gedi to En-eglaim; it shall be a place for drying nets; and the fish will be of various kinds [and] most plentiful, like the fish of the Great Sea.

bitsotav ugeva'ayw velo yerafe'u lemelakh nittanu

But its swamps and marshes shall not become wholesome; they will serve to [supply] salt.

ve'al-hannakhal ya'aleh al-sefato mizzeh umizzeh kol-ets-ma'akhal lo-yibbol alehu velo-yittom piryo lokhodashayw yevakker ki memayw min-hammiqdash hemmah yotse'im (vhyv) [vehayah] firyo lema'akhal ve'alehu litrufah

All kinds of trees for food will grow up on both banks of the stream. Their leaves will not wither nor their fruit fail; they will yield new fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the temple. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.”

koh amar adonay Elohim geh gevul asher titnakhalu et-ha'arets lishne asar shivte yisra'el yosef khavalim

Thus said the Sovereign GOD: These shall be the boundaries of the land that you shall allot to the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph shall receive two portions,

unekhaltem otah ish ke'akhiv asher nasati et-yadi letittah la'avotekhem venafelah ha'arets hazzot lakhem benakhalah

and you shall share the rest equally. As I swore to give it to your fathers, so shall this land fall to you as your heritage.

vezeh gevul ha'arets lifat tsafonah min-hayyam haggadol hadderekh khetlon levo tsedadah

These are the boundaries of the land: As the northern limit: From the Great Sea by way of Hethlon, Lebo-hamath, Zedad,

khamat berotah sivrayim asher ben-gevul dammeseq uven gevul khamat khatser hattikhon asher el-gevul khavran

Berathah, Sibraim—which lies between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath—[down to] Hazer-hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran.

vehayah gevul min-hayyam khatsar enon gevul dammeseq vetsafon tsafonah ugevul khamat ve'et pe'at tsafon

Thus the boundary shall run from the Sea to Hazar-enon, to the north of the territory of Damascus, with the territory of Hamath to the north of it. That shall be the northern limit.

ufe'at qadim mibben khavran umibben-dammeseq umibben haggilad umibben erets yisra'el hayyarden miggevul al-hayyam haqqadmoni tamoddu ve'et pe'at qadimah

As the eastern limit: A line between Hauran and Damascus, and between Gilead and the land of Israel: with the Jordan as a boundary, you shall measure down to the Eastern Sea. That shall be the eastern limit.

ufe'at negev temanah mittamar ad-me merivot qadesh nakhalah el-hayyam haggadol ve'et pe'at-temanah negbah

The southern limit shall run: A line from Tamar to the Waters of Meribath-kadesh, along the Wadi [of Egypt and] the Great Sea. That is the southern limit.

ufe'at-yam hayyam haggadol miggevul ad-nokhakh levo khamat zot pe'at-yam

And as the western limit: The Great Sea shall be the boundary up to a point opposite Lebo-hamath. That shall be the western limit.

vekhillaqtem et-ha'arets hazzot lakhem leshivte yisra'el

This land you shall divide for yourselves among the tribes of Israel.

vehayah tappilu otah benakhalah lakhem ulehaggerim haggarim betokhekhem asher-holidu vanim betokhekhem vehayu lakhem ke'ezrakh bivne yisra'el ittekhem yippelu venakhalah betokh shivte yisra'el

You shall allot it as a heritage for yourselves and for the strangers who reside among you, who have begotten children among you. You shall treat them as Israelite citizens; they shall receive allotments along with you among the tribes of Israel.

vehayah vashevet asher-gar hagger itto sham tittenu nakhalato ne'um adonay Elohim

You shall give the strangers an allotment within the tribe where they reside—declares the Sovereign GOD.
