Ezekiel 47

Gen Z: Ezekiel 47

1Afterward, he brought me to the door of the house, and fam, water was flowing out from under the threshold eastward. The house was facing east, and the water was coming from the right side of the house, by the south side of the altar.

2Then he took me out the north gate and led me around to the outer gate that looked eastward; and, no cap, water was flowing out on the right side.

3When the dude with the measuring line went east, he measured a thousand cubits and brought me through the water; it was up to my ankles, fr.

4He measured another thousand, and I walked through the water; it was up to my knees. Again, he measured a thousand, and I walked through; the water was up to my waist.

5After another thousand, it was a river I couldn't cross, like, the water was so high, it was a whole vibe to swim in, a river that was just too much to handle.

6He said to me, "Son of man, you seen this?" Then he brought me back to the edge of the river.

7When I got back, I saw tons of trees on both sides of the river, like, it was straight up lush.

8Then he said, "These waters flow toward the east country, hit the desert, and go into the sea; when it hits the sea, the water's gonna be healed, periodt."

9And it’s gonna pop off that everything living, moving wherever the rivers go, will live; like, there’s gonna be a massive amount of fish, 'cause these waters are gonna bring life where they flow.

10Fishermen will stand on it from En-gedi to En-eglaim; they’ll set up nets, and their catch will be lit, just like the fish from the great sea, so many of them.

11But the muddy spots and marshes won’t get healed; they’re just gonna be salty, no cap.

12By the riverbanks on both sides, all kinds of trees will grow for food; their leaves won’t fade, and their fruit won’t run out: they’ll produce fresh fruit every month, 'cause their water comes from the sanctuary; their fruit will be for food, and the leaves for medicine.

13Thus says the Lord God: This is the border where you’ll inherit the land for the twelve tribes of Israel; Joseph gets two portions, rizz.

14You’ll inherit it, each tribe getting their share; this is what I promised your ancestors, and this land's gonna be your inheritance, fr.

15This is the border of the land on the north side, from the great sea, following the way of Hethlon, as people head to Zedad;

16Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the borders of Damascus and Hamath; Hazar-hatticon, by the coast of Hauran.

17The border from the sea will be Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus, going north, and the border of Hamath. This is the north side, fam.

18For the east side, measure from Hauran, Damascus, Gilead, and the land of Israel by the Jordan, from the border to the east sea. This is the east side.

19The south side will go from Tamar to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. This is the south side, no cap.

20The west side will also be the great sea from the border until a man comes over against Hamath. This is the west side, periodt.

21So you’ll split this land among you according to the tribes of Israel, vibes.

22And it’ll be lit that you’ll divide it by lot for an inheritance for you and the foreigners living among you, who will have kids among you; they’ll be like they were born in the country with the children of Israel; they’ll have an inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

23And it’ll be that wherever the stranger stays, that tribe will give him his inheritance, says the Lord God.

KJV: Ezekiel 47

1Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.

2Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.

3And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.

4Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.

5Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.

6And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.

7Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.

8Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.

9And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.

10And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from En–gedi even unto En–eglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.

11But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.

12And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.

13Thus saith the Lord God; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.

14And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.

15And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;

16Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazar–hatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.

17And the border from the sea shall be Hazar–enan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.

18And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side.

19And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.

20The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side.

21So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.

22And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

23And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord God.
