4:1 And he brought me to the 1entrance of the house; and, behold, water issued from under the porch eastward, for the front of the house looked eastward; and the water came down from the right side, from the south to the altar. 2 And he brought me out by the way of the northern gate, and he led me round by the way outside to the gate of the court that looks eastward; and, behold, water came down from the right side, 3 2in the direction in which a man went forth opposite; and there was a measuring line in his hand, and he measured a thousand cubits with the measure; 4 and he passed through the water; it was water 3of a fountain: and again he measured a thousand, and passed through the water; and the water was up to the thighs: and again he measured a thousand; and he passed through water up to the loins. 5 and again he measured a thousand; and he could not pass through: for the water 4rose as of a torrent which men cannot pass over.
6 And he said to me, Hast thou seen this, son of man? Then he brought me, and led me back to the brink of the river 7 as I

10 And fishers shall stand there from Ingadin to Enagallim; it shall be a place to spread out nets upon; it shall be distinct; and the fishes thereof shall be as the fishes of the great sea, a very great multitude. 11 But at the outlet of the water, and the turn of it, and where it overflows its banks, they shall not heal at all; they are given to salt. 12 And every fruit tree shall grow by the river, even on the bank of it on this side and on that side: 6they shall not decay upon it, neither shall their fruit fail: they shall bring forth the first-fruit 7of their early crop, for these their waters come forth of the sanctuary: and their fruit shall be for meat, and their foliage for health.
13 Thus saith the Lord God; Ye shall inherit these borders of the land; 8they are given by lot to the twelve tribes of the children of Israel. 14 And ye shall inherit it, each according to his brother's portion, even the land concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers: and this land shall fall to you by lot.
15 And these are the borders of the land that lies northward, from the great sea that comes down, and divides the entrance of Emaseldam; 16 Maabthera, Ebrameliam, between the coasts of Damascus and the coasts of Emathi, the habitation of Saunan, which places are above the coasts of Auranitis. 17 These are the borders from the sea, from the habitations of Ænan, the coasts of Damascus, and the northern coasts. 18 And the eastern coasts between Loranitis, and Damascus, and the land of Galaad, and the land of Israel, 9the Jordan divides to the sea that is east of the city of palm-trees. These are the eastern coasts. 19 And the southern and south-western coasts are from Thæman and the city of palm-trees, to the water of Marimoth Cadem, reaching forth to the great sea. This part is the south and south-west. 20 This part of the great sea forms a border, till one comes opposite the entrance of Emath, even as far as the entrance thereof. These are the parts west of Emath.
21 So ye shall divide this land to them, even to the tribes of Israel. 22 10Ye shall cast the lot upon it, for yourselves and the strangers that sojourn in the midst of you, who have begotten children in the midst of you: and they shall be to you as natives among the children of Israel; they shall eat with you in their inheritance in the midst of the tribes of Israel. 23 And they shall be in the tribe of proselytes among the proselytes that
