The man took me back to the Temple entrance. I saw water coming out from under the threshold of the Temple and flowing east (because the Temple faced east). The water was coming from under the south side of the Temple and ran south of the altar.

2 and to come out: send me way: road gate north [to] and to turn: surround me way: direction outside to(wards) gate [the] outside way: direction [the] to turn east and behold water to trickle from [the] shoulder [the] right: south

Then he took me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate that faced east. I saw water was trickling out from the south side of the gate.

He measured another thousand cubits and led me through water which came up to my knees. He measured another thousand cubits and led me through water that came up to my waist.

5 and to measure thousand torrent: river which not be able to/for to pass for to rise up [the] water water swimming torrent: river which not to pass

He measured another thousand cubits, but this was a river I couldn't cross. The water had risen so high you could swim in it. It was a river that couldn't be crossed on foot.

6 and to say to(wards) me to see: see son: child man and to go: take me and to return: return me lip: shore [the] torrent: river

“Son of man, have you observed all this?” he asked. Then he took me back to the riverbank.

7 in/on/with to return: return I and behold to(wards) lip: shore [the] torrent: river tree many much from this and from this

When I got there, I saw a large number of trees on both sides of the river.

He told me, “This water flows out into the land to the east and into the Arabah. When it arrives at the Dead Sea, it turns the saltwater fresh.

There will be many animals and fish wherever the river flows. Because the river turns the saltwater fresh wherever it flows, everything will be able to live there.

However, the marshes and swampy areas won't become fresh; they will remain salty.

All types of fruit trees will grow on both sides of the river. Their leaves won't wither, and they won't fail to produce fruit. They will produce fruit every month, because the river flowing from the sanctuary comes to water them. Their fruit will be eaten as food and their leaves will be used for healing.”
