Ezekiel 47:3-5

Evangelical Heritage Version

³ As the man went out toward the east, he had a measuring line in his hand. He measured off a thousand cubits,^[a] and then he led me through the water. The water was ankle-deep. ⁴ Then he measured off another thousand cubits and led me through the water. The water was knee-deep. He measured a thousand more and led me through water that was now waist-deep. ⁵ He measured a thousand more, but now it was a river that I was not able to cross, because the water had risen so much that one would have to swim across it. It was a river that could not be forded.
