Unchecked Copy BoxEze 47:1 - Then he brought me back to the entrance of the temple. I noticed that water was flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was flowing down from under the right side of the temple, from south of the altar.

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 47:9 - Every living creature which swarms where the river flows will live; there will be many fish, for these waters flow there. It will become fresh and everything will live where the river flows.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 47:10 - Fishermen will stand beside it; from Engedi to En-eglaim they will spread nets. They will catch many kinds of fish, like the fish of the Great Sea.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 47:11 - But its swamps and its marshes will not become fresh; they will remain salty.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 47:12 - On both sides of the river's banks, every kind of tree will grow for food. Their leaves will not wither nor will their fruit fail, but they will bear fruit every month, because their water source flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing."
