⁸ And he said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into ^(A)the Arabah, and enters the sea;^[a] when the water flows into ^(B)the sea, the water will become fresh.^{[b] 9} And wherever the river goes,^[c] every living creature that swarms will live, and there will be very many fish. For this water goes there, that the waters of the sea^[d] may become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes. ¹⁰ Fishermen will stand beside the sea. From ^(C)Engedi to ^(D)Eneglaim it will be a place for the spreading of nets. Its fish will be of very many kinds, like the fish of ^(E)the Great Sea.^{[e] 11} But its swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they are to be left for salt. ¹² And on the banks, ^(F)on both sides of the river, there will grow ^(G)all kinds of trees for food. ^(H)Their leaves will not wither, nor their fruit fail, ^(I)but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and ^(J)their leaves for healing.”
