El río del templo
47 Luego mi guía celestial me trajo de vuelta a la puerta del templo. Vi una corriente de agua fluyendo hacia el este, desde debajo del templo y pasando a la derecha del altar, o sea, sobre su lado sur. 2 Luego me trajo fuera del muro a través del pasillo de la entrada del norteb y me hizo dar la vuelta hasta la entrada del este donde vi la corriente fluyendo por el lado sur (del pasillo de la entrada este).
3 Midiendo a medida que avanzaba, el guía celestial me llevó cuatrocientos cincuenta metros al este por la corriente y me hizo cruzarla. En este punto el agua me llegaba hasta los tobillos. 4 Él midió otros cuatrocientos cincuenta metros y me indicó que lo cruzara de nuevo. Esta vez el agua me llegaba hasta las rodillas. 5 Otros cuatrocientos cincuenta metros después me llegaba a la cintura. Pero cuatrocientos cincuenta metros más adelante había llegado a ser un río tan profundo que no podía cruzarlo salvo que nadara. Era demasiado profundo para cruzarlo a pie. 6 El guía celestial me dijo que tuviera en cuenta lo que había visto, luego me llevó de vuelta por la ribera.
7 Y ahora, ante mi sorpresa, ¡muchos árboles estaban creciendo a ambos lados del río! 8 Me dijo: «Este río fluye hasta el este a través del desierto y el valle del Jordán hasta el Mar Muerto, donde transformará las aguas saladas y las hará frescas y potables. 9 Todo lo que toque el agua de este río vivirá. Abundarán los peces en el Mar Muerto, pues sus aguas tendrán propiedades medicinales. Dondequiera fluyan estas aguas, todo vivirá. 10 Los pescadores estarán parados sobre las costas del Mar Muerto, pescando desde Engadi hasta Eneglayin. Las costas estarán llenas de redes secándose al sol. ¡Peces de toda especie llenarán el Mar Muerto tal como en el Mediterráneo! 11 Pero los esteros y pantanos no serán sanados; seguirán siendo salinas. 12 Toda clase de árboles frutales crecerán en las riberas del río. Las hojas nunca se marchitarán y ni caerán, sino que siempre habrá fruto. Habrá una nueva cosecha de fruta cada mes, ¡sin falta! ¡Es que están regados por el río que fluye del templo! ¡Sus frutos servirán de alimento y sus hojas de medicina!
Los límites del país
13 »El Señor Dios dice: Aquí están las indicaciones para dividir la tierra entre las doce tribus de Israel: la tribu de José (Efraín y Manasés) recibirá dos secciones. 14 En cambio cada una de las otras tribus tendrá una porción igual. Yo prometí con mano alzada, en señal de juramento, dar la tierra a sus antepasados, y ahora la heredarán ustedes.
15 »El límite del norte va desde el Mediterráneo hasta Hetlón, y luego a través de Zedad y Jamat 16 hasta Berotá y Sibrayin, que están en el límite entre Damasco y Jamat, y finalmente hasta Jazar Haticón, en el límite de Jaurán. 17 Así que el límite del norte será desde el Mediterráneo hasta Jazar Enán, en el límite con Jamat para el norte y Damasco para el sur.
18 »La frontera del este correrá desde Jazar Enán hacia el sur al monte Jaurán, donde dobla hacia el oeste al Jordán en la punta del mar de Galilea, y bajando por el río Jordán separando a Israel de Galaad, pasando por el Mar Muerto hasta Tamar.
19 »La frontera del sur partirá desde Tamar hacia el oeste hasta los manantiales de Meribá Cades y luego seguirá el curso del arroyo de Egipto (llamado Wadi el Arish) hasta el Mediterráneo.
20 »Del lado occidental, el Mediterráneo mismo será la frontera, desde el límite sur hasta el punto donde comienza el límite del norte.
21 »Dividan la tierra dentro de estos límites entre las tribus de Israel. 22 Distribuyan la tierra como una heredad para ustedes y para los extranjeros que viven entre ustedes con sus familias. Todos los que nazcan en esta tierra —sean sus padres extranjeros o no— han de ser considerados ciudadanos y tienen los mismos derechos que sus propios hijos. 23 Todos estos inmigrantes han de recibir tierra de acuerdo con la tribu donde ahora viven.

The Healing Waters and Trees
47 Then he brought me back to the door of the [a]temple; and there was (A)water, flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the front of the temple faced east; the water was flowing from under the right side of the temple, south of the altar. 2 He brought me out by way of the north gate, and led me around on the outside to the outer gateway that faces (B)east; and there was water, running out on the right side.
3 And when (C)the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the water came up to my ankles. 4 Again he measured one thousand and brought me through the waters; the water came up to my knees. Again he measured one thousand and brought me through; the water came up to my waist. 5 Again he measured one thousand, and it was a river that I could not cross; for the water was too deep, water in which one must swim, a river that could not be crossed. 6 He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?” Then he brought me and returned me to the bank of the river.
7 When I returned, there, along the bank of the river, were very many (D)trees on one side and the other. 8 Then he said to me: “This water flows toward the eastern region, goes down into the [b]valley, and enters the sea. When it reaches the sea, its waters are healed. 9 And it shall be that every living thing that moves, wherever [c]the rivers go, will live. There will be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters go there; for they will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river goes. 10 It shall be that fishermen will stand by it from En Gedi to En Eglaim; they will be places for spreading their nets. Their fish will be of the same kinds as the fish (E)of the Great Sea, exceedingly many. 11 But its swamps and marshes will not be healed; they will be given over to salt. 12 (F)Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food; (G)their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for (H)medicine.”[d]
Borders of the Land(I)
13 Thus says the Lord God: “These are the (J)borders by which you shall divide the land as an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel. (K)Joseph shall have two portions. 14 You shall inherit it equally with one another; for I (L)raised My hand in an oath to give it to your fathers, and this land shall (M)fall to you as your inheritance.
15 “This shall be the border of the land on the north: from the Great Sea, by (N)the road to Hethlon, as one goes to (O)Zedad, 16 (P)Hamath, (Q)Berothah, Sibraim (which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath), to Hazar Hatticon (which is on the border of Hauran). 17 Thus the boundary shall be from the Sea to (R)Hazar Enan, the border of Damascus; and as for the north, northward, it is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.
18 “On the east side you shall mark out the border from between Hauran and Damascus, and between Gilead and the land of Israel, along the Jordan, and along the eastern side of the sea. This is the east side.
19 “The south side, toward the [e]South, shall be from Tamar to (S)the waters of [f]Meribah by Kadesh, along the brook to the Great Sea. This is the south side, toward the South.
20 “The west side shall be the Great Sea, from the southern boundary until one comes to a point opposite Hamath. This is the west side.
21 “Thus you shall (T)divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. 22 It shall be that you will divide it by (U)lot as an inheritance for yourselves, (V)and for the strangers who dwell among you and who bear children among you. (W)They shall be to you as native-born among the children of Israel; they shall have an inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. 23 And it shall be that in whatever tribe the stranger dwells, there you shall give him his inheritance,” says the Lord God.

The River From the Temple
47 The man brought me back to the entrance to the temple, and I saw water(A) coming out from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar.(B) 2 He then brought me out through the north gate(C) and led me around the outside to the outer gate facing east, and the water was trickling from the south side.
3 As the man went eastward with a measuring line(D) in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits[a] and then led me through water that was ankle-deep. 4 He measured off another thousand cubits and led me through water that was knee-deep. He measured off another thousand and led me through water that was up to the waist. 5 He measured off another thousand, but now it was a river(E) that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in—a river that no one could cross.(F) 6 He asked me, “Son of man, do you see this?”
Then he led me back to the bank of the river. 7 When I arrived there, I saw a great number of trees on each side of the river.(G) 8 He said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah,[b](H) where it enters the Dead Sea. When it empties into the sea, the salty water there becomes fresh.(I) 9 Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live.(J) 10 Fishermen(K) will stand along the shore; from En Gedi(L) to En Eglaim there will be places for spreading nets.(M) The fish will be of many kinds(N)—like the fish of the Mediterranean Sea.(O) 11 But the swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt.(P) 12 Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river.(Q) Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit(R) fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary(S) flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.(T)”
The Boundaries of the Land
13 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “These are the boundaries(U) of the land that you will divide among the twelve tribes of Israel as their inheritance, with two portions for Joseph.(V) 14 You are to divide it equally among them. Because I swore with uplifted hand to give it to your ancestors, this land will become your inheritance.(W)
15 “This is to be the boundary of the land:(X)
“On the north side it will run from the Mediterranean Sea(Y) by the Hethlon road(Z) past Lebo Hamath to Zedad, 16 Berothah[c](AA) and Sibraim (which lies on the border between Damascus and Hamath),(AB) as far as Hazer Hattikon, which is on the border of Hauran. 17 The boundary will extend from the sea to Hazar Enan,[d] along the northern border of Damascus, with the border of Hamath to the north. This will be the northern boundary.(AC)
18 “On the east side the boundary will run between Hauran and Damascus, along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel, to the Dead Sea and as far as Tamar.[e] This will be the eastern boundary.(AD)
19 “On the south side it will run from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribah Kadesh,(AE) then along the Wadi of Egypt(AF) to the Mediterranean Sea.(AG) This will be the southern boundary.
20 “On the west side, the Mediterranean Sea will be the boundary to a point opposite Lebo Hamath.(AH) This will be the western boundary.(AI)
21 “You are to distribute this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. 22 You are to allot it as an inheritance(AJ) for yourselves and for the foreigners(AK) residing among you and who have children. You are to consider them as native-born Israelites; along with you they are to be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel.(AL) 23 In whatever tribe a foreigner resides, there you are to give them their inheritance,” declares the Sovereign Lord.(AM)
