"And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen this? Then he took me to the river's edge."
— Ezekiel 47:6, Bible in Basic English
“And 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.”
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.
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.
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.
And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen this? Then he took me to the river's edge.
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.
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.
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.
