Ezekiel 47:1–12
Waters issue from under the threshold of the house, ankle-deep, then knee-deep, then a river that cannot be passed — and everything lives where the river comes.
1 He shawab (turn) me back to the pathach (door) of the bayath (house); and behold, mayam (Waters) yatzaa (go out / come out) out from under the mapathan (threshold) of the bayath (house) eastward; (for the panayam (face) of the bayath (house) was toward the qadayam (east);) and the mayam (Waters) yarad (came) down from under, from the yamanay (right) kathap (side) of the bayath (house), on the nagab (south) of the mazabach (altar).
2 Then he yatzaa (go out / come out) me out by the darak (way) of the shair (gate) northward, and led me round by the darak (way) outside to the outer shair (gate), by the darak (way) of the shair (gate) that panah (turn) toward the qadayam (east); and behold, there pakah (ran) out mayam (Waters) on the yamanay (right) kathap (side).
3 When the ayash (man / husband) yatzaa (go out / come out) forth eastward with the qaw (line) in his yad (hand), he madad (measured) one alap (thousand) amah (cubits), and he ibar (pass over/through) me to pass through the may (waters), may (waters) that were to the apasayam (ankles).
4 Again he madad (measured) one alap (thousand), and ibar (pass over/through) me to pass through the may (waters), may (waters) that were to the barakayam (knees). Again he madad (measured) one alap (thousand), and ibar (pass over/through) me to pass through the may (waters), mathanayam (waters) that were to the waist.
5 Afterward he madad (measured) one alap (thousand); and it was a nachal (stream / river) that I yakal (could) not ibar (pass over/through) through; for the may (waters) were gaah (risen), may (waters) to shachaw (swim) in, a nachal (stream / river) that could not be ibar (pass over/through) through.
6 He amar (said) to me, “ban (son) of adam (man), raah (see / saw) you seen?” this? Then he yalak (brought) me, and caused me to shawab (turn) to the shapah (bank) of the nachal (stream / river).
7 Now when I had shawab (turn), behold, on the shapah (bank) of the nachal (stream / river) were very many itz (trees) on the one side and on the other.
8 Then he amar (said) to me, “These mayam (Waters) yatzaa (go out / come out) forth toward the eastern region, and shall bawaa (bring) down into the irabah (arabah); and they shall go toward the yam (sea/waters); into the yam (sea/waters) shall the waters yatzaa (go out / come out) which were made to issue forth; and the mayam (Waters) shall be rapaa (healed).
9 It shall happen, that every living napash (soul) which swarms, in every place where the nachalayam (rivers) bawaa (bring), shall chayah (live); and there shall be a very rab (great) multitude of dagah (fish); for these mayam (Waters) bawaa (bring) come there, and the waters of the sea shall be rapaa (healed), and everything shall chayay (life) wherever the nachal (stream / river) baaw (comes).
10 It shall happen, that fishermen shall imad (stand) by it: from Iyan-Gaday (En Gedi) even to Iyanaigalayam (En Eglaim) shall be a place for the mashatawach (spreading) of charamayam (nets); their dagah (fish) shall be after their mayan (species), as the dagah (fish) of the gadawal (very great/important/mighty) yam (sea/waters), maad (exceeding) many.
11 But the miry places of it, and its marshes, shall not be rapaa (healed); they shall be nathan (give) up to malach (salt).
12 By the nachal (stream / river) on its shapah (bank), on this side and on that side, shall ilah (go up / offer) every itz (tree) for maakal (food), whose ilah (leaf) shall not nabal (wither), neither shall its paray (fruit) thamam (fail): it shall bakar (bring) forth new fruit every chadash (month), because its mayam (Waters) yatzaa (go out / come out) out of the maqadash (sanctuary); and its paray (fruit) shall be for maakal (food), and its ilah (leaf) for healing.”
