^{2 Ref} And he took me out by the north doorway, and made me go round to the outside of the doorway looking to the east; and I saw waters running slowly out on the south side.

^{3 Ref} And the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, and after measuring a thousand cubits, he made me go through the waters, which came over my feet.

^{4 Ref} And again, measuring a thousand cubits, he made me go through the waters which came up to my knees. Again, measuring a thousand, he made me go through the waters up to the middle of my body.

^{5 Ref} Again, after his measuring a thousand, it became a river which it was not possible to go through: for the waters had become deep enough for swimming, a river it was not possible to go through.

^{6 Ref} And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen this? Then he took me to the river's edge.

^{7 Ref} And he took me back, and I saw at the edge of the river a very great number of trees on this side and on that.

^{8 Ref} And he said to me, These waters are flowing out to the east part of the land and down into the Arabah; and they will go to the sea, and the waters will be made sweet.

^{9 Ref} And it will come about that every living and moving thing, wherever their streams come, will have life; and there will be very much fish because these waters have come there and have been made sweet: and everything wherever the river comes will have life.

^{10 Ref} And fishermen will take up their places by it: from En-gedi as far as En-eglaim will be a place for the stretching out of nets; the fish will be of every sort, like the fish of the Great Sea, a very great number.

^{11 Ref} The wet places and the pools will not be made sweet; they will be given up to salt.
