7. Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
8. Then he said to me, “These waters flow out towards the eastern region, and will go down into the Arabah. Then they will go towards the sea; and flow into the sea which will be made to flow out; and the waters will be healed.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. But the miry places of it, and its marshes, will not be healed. They will be given up to salt.
12. By the river on its bank, on this side and on that side, 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.”
13. Thus says the Lord GOD: “This shall be the border, by which you shall divide the land for inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph shall have two portions.
14. You shall inherit it, one as well as another; for I swore to give it to your fathers. This land will fall to you for inheritance.
15. “This shall be the border of the land:“On the north side, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, to the entrance of Zedad;
16. Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer Hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.
17. The border from the sea, shall be Hazar Enon at the border of Damascus; and on the north northward is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.
18. “The east side, between Hauran and Damascus and Gilead, and Eretz-Israel, shall be the Jordan; from the north border to the east sea you shall measure. This is the east side.
