Ezekiel 47 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Water from the Temple

Then he brought^H7725 me back^H7725 to the door^H6607 of the house^H1004; and behold^H2009, water^H4325 was flowing^H3318 from under^H8478 the threshold^H4670 of the house^H1004 toward the east^H6921, for the house^H1004 faced^H6440 east^H6921. And the water^H4325 was flowing^H3381 down^H3381 from under^H8478, from the right^H3233 side^H3802 of the house^H1004, from south^H5045 of the altar^H4196.

Eze 47:2

Eze 47:2And he brought me out by way of the north gate and led me around [fn]on the outside to the outer gate, by the way facing east. And behold, water was spurting out from the south side.

Eze 47:3

When the man^H376 went^H3318 out^H3318 toward the east^H6921 with a line^H6957 in his hand^H3027, he measured^H4058 a thousand^H505 [fn]cubits^H520, and he led^H5674 me through the water^H4325, water^H4325 reaching the ankles^H657.

Eze 47:4

Eze 47:4Again he measured a thousand and led me through the water, water reaching the knees. Again he measured a thousand and led me through the water, water reaching the [fn]hips.

Eze 47:5

Eze 47:5Again he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not [fn]wade across, because the water had risen, enough water to swim in, a river that could not be crossed by wading.

Eze 47:6

Eze 47:6And he said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?” Then he brought me [fn]back to the bank of the river.

Eze 47:7

Eze 47:7Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river there were very many trees on the one side and on the other.

Eze 47:8

Eze 47:8Then he said to me, “These waters go out toward the eastern region and go down into the Arabah; then they go toward the [fn]sea, being made to flow into the sea, and the waters of the sea become [fn]fresh.

Eze 47:9

Eze 47:9“And it will come about that every living creature which swarms in every place where the [fn]river goes, will live. And there will be very many fish, for these waters go there and the others [fn]become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes.

Eze 47:10

Eze 47:10“And it will come about that fishermen will stand beside it; from Engedi to Eneglaim there will be a place for the spreading of nets. Their fish will be according to their kinds, like the fish of the Great Sea, very many.

Eze 47:11

Eze 47:11“But its swamps and marshes will not become [fn]fresh; they will be [fn]left for salt.

Eze 47:12

Eze 47:12“And by the river on its bank, on one side and on the other, will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month because their water flows from the sanctuary, and their fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing.”

Boundaries and Division of the Land

(cf. Num 34:1–12 )

Eze 47:13

This^H3541 is^H3541 what^H3541 the Lord^H136 [fn]GOD^H3068 says^H559: “This^H2088 shall be the boundary^H1366 by which^H834 you shall divide^H5157 the land^H776 for^H5157 an^H5157 inheritance^H5157 among the twelve^H8147^H6240 tribes^H7626 of Israel^H3478; Joseph^H3130 shall have two^H8147 portions^H2256.

Eze 47:14

Eze 47:14“And you shall divide it for an inheritance, each one [fn]equally with the other; for I [fn]swore to give it to your forefathers, and this land shall fall to you [fn]as an inheritance.

Eze 47:15

“And this^H2088 shall be the boundary^H1366 of the land^H776: on the north^H6828 side^H6285, from the Great^H1419 Sea^H3220 by the way^H1870 of Hethlon^H2855, to the entrance^H935 of [fn]Zedad^H6657;

Eze 47:16

Eze 47:16 [fn]Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.

Eze 47:17

Eze 47:17“The boundary shall [fn]extend from the sea to Hazar-enan at the border of Damascus, and on the north toward the north is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.

Eze 47:18

“The east^H6921 side^H6285, from between^H996 Hauran^H2362, Damascus^H1834, Gilead^H1568, and the land^H776 of Israel^H3478, shall be the Jordan^H3383; from the north border^H1366 to the eastern^H6931 sea^H3220 you shall measure^H4058. This is the east^H6921 side^H6285.

Eze 47:19

“The south^H5045 side^H6285 toward the south^H8486 shall extend from Tamar^H8559 as far^H5704 as the waters^H4325 of Meribath-kadesh^H4809^H6946, to the brook^H5158 of Egypt and to the Great^H1419 Sea^H3220. This is the south^H8486 side^H6285 toward the south^H5045.

Eze 47:20

“And the west^H3220 side^H6285 shall be the Great^H1419 Sea^H3220, from the south border^H1366 to a point opposite^H5227 [fn]Lebo-hamath^H935. This^H2088 is the west^H3220 side^H6285.

Eze 47:21

“So you shall divide^H2505 this^H2088 land^H776 among yourselves according to the tribes^H7626 of Israel^H3478.

Eze 47:22

Eze 47:22“You shall divide it by lot for an inheritance among yourselves and among the strangers who stay in your midst, who bring forth sons in your midst. And they shall be to you as the native-born among the sons of Israel; they shall be allotted an inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

Eze 47:23

Eze 47:23“And in the tribe with which the stranger resides, there you shall give him his inheritance,” declares the Lord GOD.
