1Egli mi ricondusse all’ingresso della casa; ed ecco delle acque uscivano sotto la soglia della casa, dal lato d’oriente, perché la facciata della casa guardava a oriente; le acque uscite di là scendevano dal lato meridionale della casa, a mezzogiorno dell’altare.2Poi mi condusse fuori per la via della porta settentrionale e mi fece fare il giro, di fuori, fino alla porta esterna, che guarda a oriente; ed ecco, le acque scendevano dal lato destro.3Quando l’uomo fu uscito verso oriente, aveva in mano una cordicella e misurò mille cubiti; mi fece attraversare le acque, ed esse mi arrivavano alle calcagna.4Misurò altri mille cubiti, e mi fece attraversare le acque, ed esse mi arrivavano alle ginocchia. Misurò altri mille cubiti, e mi fece attraversare le acque, ed esse mi arrivavano sino ai fianchi.5Ne misurò altri mille: era un torrente che io non potevo attraversare, perché le acque erano ingrossate; erano acque che bisognava attraversare a nuoto, un torrente che non si poteva guadare.6Egli mi disse: «Hai visto, figlio d’uomo?» Poi mi ricondusse sulla riva del torrente.7Tornato che vi fu, ecco che sulla riva del torrente c’erano moltissimi alberi, da un lato e dall’altro.8Egli mi disse: «Queste acque si dirigono verso la regione orientale, scenderanno nella pianura ed entreranno nel mare; quando saranno entrate nel mare, le acque del mare saranno rese sane.9Avverrà che ogni essere vivente che si muove, dovunque giungerà il torrente ingrossato, vivrà, e ci sarà grande abbondanza di pesce, poiché queste acque entreranno là; quelle del mare saranno risanate, e tutto vivrà dovunque arriverà il torrente.10Dei pescatori staranno sulle rive del mare; da En-Ghedi fino a En-Glaim si stenderanno le reti; vi sarà pesce di diverse specie come il pesce del mar Grande, e in grande abbondanza.11Ma le sue paludi e le sue lagune non saranno rese sane; saranno abbandonate al sale.12Presso il torrente, sulle sue rive, da un lato e dall’altro, crescerà ogni specie di alberi fruttiferi, le cui foglie non appassiranno e il cui frutto non verrà mai meno. Ogni mese faranno frutti nuovi, perché quelle acque escono dal santuario; quel loro frutto servirà da cibo, e quelle loro foglie da medicamento».
Frontiere del paese
13Così parla il Signore, Dio: «Questa è la frontiera del paese che voi spartirete come eredità fra le dodici tribù d’Israele. Giuseppe ne avrà due parti.14Voi avrete ciascuno, tanto l’uno quanto l’altro, una parte di questo paese, che io giurai di dare ai vostri padri. Questo paese vi toccherà quindi in eredità.15Queste saranno le frontiere del paese. Dalla parte di settentrione: partendo dal mar Grande, in direzione di Chetlon, venendo verso Sedad;16Camat, Berota, Sibraim, che è tra la frontiera di Damasco e la frontiera di Camat; Aser-Atticon, che è sulla frontiera del Cavran.17Così la frontiera sarà dal mare fino ad Asar-Enon, frontiera di Damasco, avendo a settentrione il paese settentrionale e la frontiera di Camat. Questa è la parte settentrionale.18Dalla parte orientale: partendo fra il Cavran e Damasco, poi fra Galaad e il paese d’Israele, verso il Giordano, misurerete dalla frontiera settentrionale fino al mare orientale. Questa è la parte orientale.19La parte meridionale si dirigerà verso mezzogiorno, da Tamar fino alle acque di Meribot di Cades, fino al torrente che va nel mar Grande. Questa è la parte meridionale, verso mezzogiorno.20La parte occidentale sarà il mar Grande, da quest’ultima frontiera, sino di fronte all’entrata di Camat. Questa è la parte occidentale.21Dividerete così questo paese fra voi, secondo le tribù d’Israele.22Ne spartirete a sorte dei lotti d’eredità fra di voi e gli stranieri che soggiorneranno in mezzo a voi, i quali avranno generato dei figli fra di voi. Questi saranno per voi come nativi tra i figli d’Israele; tireranno a sorte con voi la loro parte di eredità in mezzo alle tribù d’Israele.23Nella tribù nella quale lo straniero soggiorna, là gli darete la sua parte», dice il Signore, Dio.
Vision vom zukünftigen Tempel: Das Wasser aus dem Tempel
1Und er führte mich zurück zum Eingang des Hauses; und siehe, Wasser floss unter der Schwelle des Hauses hervor nach Osten, denn die Vorderseite des Hauses war nach Osten ⟨gerichtet⟩; und das Wasser floss unten herab an der rechten Seite[1] des Hauses, südlich vom Altar. (Sal 46,5; Sal 87,7; Ez 40,6; Zac 13,1; Ap 22,1)2Und er führte mich hinaus durch das Nordtor und ließ mich den Weg außen herumgehen zum äußeren Tor, auf dem Weg, der sich nach Osten wendet; und siehe, Wasser rieselte auf der rechten Seite[2] hervor.3Und als der Mann gegen Osten hinausging, die Messschnur in seiner Hand, da maß er tausend Ellen und ließ mich durch das Wasser gehen: Wasser bis an die Knöchel. (Ez 40,3; Zac 2,5)4Und er maß tausend ⟨Ellen⟩ und ließ mich durch das Wasser gehen: Wasser bis an die Knie. Und er maß tausend ⟨Ellen⟩ und ließ mich hindurchgehen: Wasser bis an die Hüften.5Und er maß tausend ⟨Ellen⟩: ein Fluss, den ich nicht durchschreiten konnte, denn das Wasser war tief[3], Wasser zum Schwimmen, ein Fluss, der nicht ⟨mehr⟩ durchschritten werden kann.6Und er sprach zu mir: Hast du gesehen, Menschensohn? Und er führte mich wieder zurück am Ufer des Flusses ⟨entlang⟩[4].7Als ich zurückkehrte, siehe, ⟨da standen⟩ am Ufer des Flusses sehr viele Bäume auf dieser und auf jener Seite. (Ap 22,2)8Und er sprach zu mir: Dieses Wasser fließt hinaus in den östlichen Bezirk[5] und fließt in die Ebene[6] hinab und gelangt ins Meer, in das salzige Wasser, und das Wasser wird gesund werden[7]. (Eso 15,25; De 4,49)9Und es wird geschehen, jedes Lebewesen, das[8] da wimmelt – überall wohin der Fluss[9] kommt –, wird leben. Und es wird sehr viele Fische geben. Wenn dieses Wasser dorthin kommt, dann wird das Salzwasser gesund werden[10], und alles wird leben, wohin der Fluss kommt.10Und es wird geschehen, dass Fischer an ihm[11] stehen werden: von En-Gedi bis En-Eglajim werden Trockenplätze für Netze sein. Fische von jeder Art werden in ihm[12] sein[13], sehr zahlreich, wie die Fische des großen Meeres. (2Cr 20,2)11Seine Sümpfe und seine Lachen ⟨aber⟩ werden nicht gesund werden. Zur Salzgewinnung sind sie bestimmt[14].12An dem Fluss aber, an seinem Ufer, werden auf dieser und auf jener Seite allerlei Bäume wachsen, von denen man isst, deren Blätter nicht welken und deren Früchte nicht ausgehen werden. Monat für Monat[15] werden sie frische Früchte tragen, denn sein Wasser fließt aus dem Heiligtum hervor; und ihre Früchte werden als Speise dienen und ihre Blätter als Heilmittel. (Ap 22,2)
Die Grenzen des Landes
13So spricht der Herr, HERR: Das ist die Grenze, innerhalb derer ihr euch das Land als Erbe zuweisen sollt nach den zwölf Stämmen Israels: für Josef ⟨zwei⟩ Anteile[16]. (Gen 48,5; Nu 34,2; Gios 16,4; Gios 17,1; Ez 48,1)14Und ihr sollt es zum Erbe erhalten, der eine wie der andere[17], da ich meine Hand ⟨im Schwur⟩ erhoben habe, es euren Vätern zu geben. Dieses Land soll euch als Erbteil zufallen. (Eso 6,8)15Und das ist die Grenze des Landes: Auf der Nordseite, vom großen Meer an, in der Richtung auf Hetlon, bis man nach Hamat kommt, nach Zedad hin, (Ez 48,1)16[18] Berota, Sibrajim, das zwischen dem Gebiet von Damaskus und dem Gebiet von Hamat liegt, ⟨und⟩ Hazar-Enan[19], das an der Grenze von Hauran liegt. (2Sam 8,8)17Und die Grenze verläuft vom Meer ⟨bis nach⟩ Hazar-Enan. ⟨Dabei liegt⟩ die Grenze von Damaskus – und zwar, was den Norden betrifft – nördlich und ebenso das Gebiet von Hamat. Das ist die Nordseite. –18Und die Ostseite:[20]⟨Von Hazar-Enan, das⟩ zwischen Hauran und Damaskus ⟨liegt,⟩ bildet zwischen Gilead und dem Land Israel der Jordan die Grenze[21] bis zum östlichen Meer hin bis Tamar[22]. Das ist die Ostseite. – (Gioe 2,20)19Und die Mittagseite südwärts: von Tamar bis zum Streitwasser von Kadesch[23] ⟨und⟩ nach dem Bach ⟨Ägyptens⟩ hin bis an das große Meer. Das ist die Südseite gegen Mittag. – (Nu 20,1; 1Re 9,18; 2Cr 20,2; Ez 48,28)20Und die Westseite: Das große Meer bildet die Grenze[24] bis gegenüber ⟨der Stelle⟩, wo man nach Hamat kommt. Das ist die Westseite.
Die Aufteilung des Landes
21Und dieses Land sollt ihr unter euch verteilen nach den Stämmen Israels.22Und es soll geschehen: Ihr sollt es als Erbteil verlosen unter euch und den Fremden, die sich in eurer Mitte aufhalten, die in eurer Mitte Söhne gezeugt haben. Und sie sollen euch gelten wie Einheimische[25] unter den Söhnen Israel. Mit euch sollen sie ⟨es⟩ als Erbteil durch das Los erhalten[26] mitten unter den Stämmen Israels. (Le 19,34; Is 56,6; Ez 45,1; Ez 48,29)23Und es soll geschehen, in dem Stamm, bei dem der Fremde sich aufhält, dort sollt ihr ihm sein Erbteil geben, spricht der Herr, HERR[27].
1Then he brought me back to the door of the temple, and behold, water was issuing from below the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was flowing down from below the south end of the threshold of the temple, south of the altar. (Sal 46,4; Ez 9,3; Ez 43,1; Ez 43,13; Gioe 3,18; Zac 14,8; Ap 22,1)2Then he brought me out by way of the north gate and led me around on the outside to the outer gate that faces toward the east; and behold, the water was trickling out on the south side. (Ez 40,6; Ez 40,35)3Going on eastward with a measuring line in his hand, the man measured a thousand cubits,[1] and then led me through the water, and it was ankle-deep. (Ez 40,3)4Again he measured a thousand, and led me through the water, and it was knee-deep. Again he measured a thousand, and led me through the water, and it was waist-deep.5Again he measured a thousand, and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the water had risen. It was deep enough to swim in, a river that could not be passed through.6And he said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?” Then he led me back to the bank of the river. (Ez 2,1; Ez 8,6)7As I went back, I saw on the bank of the river very many trees on the one side and on the other. (Ez 47,12; Ap 22,2)8And he said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah, and enters the sea;[2] when the water flows into the sea, the water will become fresh.[3] (De 1,1; De 3,17; De 4,49; Gios 3,16)9And wherever the river goes,[4] 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[5] may become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes.10Fishermen will stand beside the sea. From Engedi to Eneglaim it will be a place for the spreading of nets. Its fish will be of very many kinds, like the fish of the Great Sea.[6] (Gios 15,12; 1Sam 23,29; Is 15,8)11But its swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they are to be left for salt.12And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither, nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing.” (Gen 2,9; Sal 1,3; Ger 17,8; Ez 47,7; Ap 22,2)
Division of the Land
13Thus says the Lord God: “This is the boundary[7] by which you shall divide the land for inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph shall have two portions. (Gios 17,14; Ez 45,8; Ez 48,1; Ez 48,4; Ez 48,23)14And you shall divide equally what I swore to give to your fathers. This land shall fall to you as your inheritance. (Gen 12,7; Ez 20,5; Ez 48,29)15“This shall be the boundary of the land: On the north side, from the Great Sea by way of Hethlon to Lebo-hamath, and on to Zedad,[8] (Nu 34,8; Ez 47,10; Ez 48,1)16Berothah, Sibraim (which lies on the border between Damascus and Hamath), as far as Hazer-hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran. (2Sam 8,8; Is 7,8; Ez 47,15; Ez 48,1)17So the boundary shall run from the sea to Hazar-enan, which is on the northern border of Damascus, with the border of Hamath to the north.[9] This shall be the north side.[10] (Ez 48,1)18“On the east side, the boundary shall run between Hauran and Damascus; along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel; to the eastern sea and as far as Tamar.[11] This shall be the east side. (Gios 13,11; Gioe 2,20)19“On the south side, it shall run from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribah-kadesh, from there along the Brook of Egypt[12] to the Great Sea. This shall be the south side. (Gen 14,7; Nu 20,13; Nu 34,5; Gios 15,12; 2Cr 20,2)20“On the west side, the Great Sea shall be the boundary to a point opposite Lebo-hamath. This shall be the west side. (Ez 47,15)21“So you shall divide this land among you according to the tribes of Israel. (Ez 47,13)22You shall allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the sojourners who reside among you and have had children among you. They shall be to you as native-born children of Israel. With you they shall be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel. (Eso 12,19; Eso 12,48; Is 14,1; Ez 45,1; Ez 48,29; Ro 10,12; Ga 3,28; Ef 3,6; Col 3,11)23In whatever tribe the sojourner resides, there you shall assign him his inheritance, declares the Lord God.

King James Version
1Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.2Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.3And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.4Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.5Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.6And 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.7Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.8Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.9And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.10And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.11But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.12And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.13Thus saith the Lord GOD; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.14And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.15And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;16Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.17And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.18And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side.19And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.20The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side.21So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.22And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.23And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord GOD.
