The waters flowing eastward from under the threshold of the temple, and the trees on the banks of the river, which the speaker sees
말하는 이가 본 전 문지방 밑에서 나와 동으로 흐르는 물과 강 좌우의 나무
Ezekiel 47:1–12: the speaker (“I”) says, “He brought me back to the door of the temple; and behold, waters flowed out from under the threshold of the temple eastward, for the front of the temple faced toward the east. The waters came down from underneath, from the right side of the temple, on the south of the altar. Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me around by the way outside to the outer gate, by the way of the gate that looks toward the east. Behold, waters ran out on the right side. When the man went out eastward with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the ankles. Again he measured one thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the knees. Again he measured one thousand, and caused me to pass through waters that were to the waist. Afterward he measured one thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the waters had risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be walked through. He said to me, ‘Son of man, have you seen this?’ Then he brought me and caused me to return to the bank of the river. Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other. Then he said to me, ‘These waters flow out toward the eastern region and will go down into the Arabah. Then they will go toward the sea and flow into the sea which will be made to flow out; and the waters will be healed. It will happen that every living creature which swarms, in every place where the rivers come, will live. Then there will be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters have come there, and the waters of the sea will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river comes. It will happen that fishermen will stand by it. From En Gedi even to En Eglaim will be a place for the spreading of nets. Their fish will be after their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceedingly many. But its swamps and marshes will not be healed. They will be given up to salt. By the river banks, on both sides, will grow every tree for food, whose leaf won’t wither, neither will its fruit fail. It will produce new fruit every month, because its waters issue out of the sanctuary. Its fruit will be for food, and its leaf for healing.’” Neither edition names the “he” or “the man” of 47:3. The Korean Revised Version does not close the words it opens at 47:8 (그가 내게 이르시되, he said to me), where WEB closes them at the end of 47:12. At 47:1 it reads 그가 나를 데리고 전 문에 이르시니 (he brought me to the door of the temple), where WEB reads “He brought me back to the door of the temple”. It reads 일천척 at 47:3–5, where WEB reads “one thousand cubits” at 47:3 and “one thousand” at 47:4–5. At 47:8 it reads 바다에 이르리니 이 흘러 내리는 물로 그 바다의 물이 소성함을 얻을찌라 (will reach the sea, and by this water flowing down the water of that sea will be healed), where WEB reads “Then they will go toward the sea and flow into the sea which will be made to flow out; and the waters will be healed”; at 47:9 이 강물이 이르는 곳마다 (wherever this river comes), where WEB reads “in every place where the rivers come”; and at 47:11 소금 땅이 될 것이며 (will become salt land), where WEB reads “They will be given up to salt”.

1He brought me back to the door of the temple; and behold, waters flowed out from under the threshold of the temple eastward, for the front of the temple faced toward the east. The waters came down from underneath, from the right side of the temple, on the south of the altar.
2Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me around by the way outside to the outer gate, by the way of the gate that looks toward the east. Behold, waters ran out on the right side.
3When the man went out eastward with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the ankles.
4Again he measured one thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the knees. Again he measured one thousand, and caused me to pass through waters that were to the waist.
5Afterward he measured one thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the waters had risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be walked through.
6He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?” Then he brought me and caused me to return to the bank of the river.
7Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
8Then he said to me, “These waters flow out toward the eastern region and will go down into the Arabah. Then they will go toward the sea and flow into the sea which will be made to flow out; and the waters will be healed.

12By the river banks, on both sides, will grow every tree for food, whose leaf won’t wither, neither will its fruit fail. It will produce new fruit every month, because its waters issue out of the sanctuary. Its fruit will be for food, and its leaf for healing.”
