Again he measured a thousand and led me through the water, water reaching the 47:4 Lit loinships. 5 Again he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not 47:5 Lit crosswade across, because the water had risen, enough water to swim in, a river that could not be crossed by wading.6 And he said to me, "Son of man, have you seen this?" Then he brought me 47:6 Lit and caused me to returnback to the bank of the river. 7 Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river there were very many trees on the one side and on the other. 8 Then he said to me, "These waters go out toward the eastern region and go down into the Arabah; then they go toward the 47:8 I.e., Dead Seasea, being made to flow into the sea, and the waters of the sea become 47:8 Lit healedfresh. 9 And it will come about that every living creature which swarms in every place where the 47:9 Lit two riversriver goes, will live. And there will be very many fish, for these waters go there and the others47:9 Lit are healedbecome fresh; so everything will live where the river goes. 10 And it will come about that fishermen will stand beside it; from Engedito Eneglaimthere 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. 11 But its swamps and marshes will not become 47:11 Lit healedfresh; they will be 47:11 Lit givenleft for salt. 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."
