1 Then he brought me back to the door of the house, and, behold, from under the threshold of the water flowing to the east, for the temple faced east, and the water was flowing from under the right side of the house, on the south side of the altar.
2 And he brought me to the north gate, and around the outside by me to the outer gate by the way that looketh eastward; and here, the water flows on the right side.
3 When the man went to the east, the cord in his hand, and he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the water; the water was ankle-deep.
4 And [yet] he measured a thousand, and led me through the water; Water was knee-deep. And he measured a thousand, and led me; the waters were to the loins.
5 And he measured a thousand, and already there was a river that I could not go, because the water was so high that to swim in, but it was impossible to move this thread.
6 And he said to me: `seen, son of man '? and he led me back to the bank of the river.
7 And when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on either side.
8 And he said to me: This water flows toward the eastern lands descend to the plain and enter the sea; and its waters shall be healed.
9 And every living creature, reptile, where two streams come, shall live; and the fish will be quite a lot, because it will go to the water, and the water [in the sea] shall be healed, and where will this stream, all shall live there.
10 And will stand beside him anglers from Engedi to Eglaima will throw the network. The fish will be according to their kinds, like the great sea, the fish will be quite a lot.
eleven Swamps and marshes it it shall not be healed, will be left for salt.
12 We stream over its banks, on either side, shall grow all trees for food, whose leaf shall not wither, and their fruit will not fail; each month will bear, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary; their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing.

13 Thus says the Lord God: Behold the border, whereby you shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.
14 And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another; since I lifted up my hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.
