Ezekiel 47

47 Then he brought me back to the door of the temple, and there was water flowing east from under the threshold of the temple (the temple fronted east)! The water was flowing from the south side of the temple, past the altar on south. 2 He then took me out by the northern gate and led me round upon the outside to the outer gate that faced eastward, and there was water pouring on the south side! 3 Passing eastward, with the measuring tape in his hand, he measured a third of a mile, and then took me across: the water was up to my ankles. 4 Again he measured a third of a mile, and took me across: the water was up to my knees. Again he measured a third of a mile, and took me across: the water was up to my waist. 5 Again he measured a third of a mile; and it was a stream I could not ford, the water was deep enough to swim in, it was a stream too high to be forded. 6 “Son of man,” he asked, “do you see this?”

Then he took me back along the bank of the stream, 7 and there by the bank of the stream on both sides, 8 many a tree was growing! He told me, “This water flows to the region of the east, down through the Arabah ravine, into the Dead Sea, into the brackish waters which shall turn fresh. 9 Wherever the stream goes, every living creature that swarms shall live; there shall be shoals of fish, 10 and fishermen shall stand beside the Dead Sea from Engedi to Eneglaim; it shall be a place for casting nets, and its fish shall be as varied and numerous as the fish of the great Mediterranean. 11 Only, the marshes and swamps shall not turn fresh; they are to be left for supplying salt. 12 On the bank of the stream, along both sides, every sort of food-tree shall grow; their leaves shall not wither and their fruit shall never fail; every month they shall bear fresh fruit, thanks to the water that flows from the sanctuary, and their fruit shall serve for food, their leaves for healing.” * * *

13 Here are the orders of the Lord the Eternal: “This is the frontier for your division of the land among the twelve clans of Israel. 14 You must share it equally; I swore to give the land to your fathers, and it shall fall to you as your possession. 15 The frontier of the land on the north is from the Mediterranean through Hethlon to the pass of Hamath as far as Zedad, 16 then on to Berotha, Sibraim (lying between the frontiers of Damascus and Hamath), and Hazar-enon (on the frontier of Hauran); 19 that is, the frontier shall run from the sea to Hazar-enon on the frontier of Damascus, bounded by the pass of Hamath to the north. That is the northern frontier. 18 The eastern frontier shall start from between Hauran and Damascus, and, between Gilead and the land of Israel, it shall be the Jordan; it shall stretch from the northern frontier to the Dead Sea on the east, 19 as far south as Tamar. That is the eastern frontier. The southern frontier shall run from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribath-Kadesh, to the Wady-el-Arish and then to the Mediterranean. That is the southern frontier. 20 The western shall be the Mediterranean from the southern frontier up to a point opposite the pass of Hamath; that is the western frontier.

21 This land you must divide among yourselves, the clans of Israel. 22 You must allot it among yourselves and among the resident aliens who bring up families among you; they are to count as natives and to be allotted land of their own among the clans of Israel; 23 you must assign the resident alien his land within the clan where he stays, says the Lord the Eternal.”
