| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
mountains . . . drop . . . wine--figurative for abundance of vines, which were cultivated in terraces of earth between the rocks on the sides of the hills of Palestine (Amo 9:13).
hills . . . flow with milk--that is, they shall abound in flocks and herds yielding milk plentifully, through the richness of the pastures.
waters--the great desideratum for fertility in the parched East (Isa 30:25).
fountain . . . of . . . house of . . . Lord . . . water . . . valley of Shittim--The blessings, temporal and spiritual, issuing from Jehovah's house at Jerusalem, shall extend even to Shittim, on the border between Moab and Israel, beyond Jordan (Num 25:1; Num 33:49; Jos 2:1; Mic 6:5). "Shittim" means "acacias," which grow only in arid regions: implying that even the arid desert shall be fertilized by the blessing from Jerusalem. So Eze 47:1-12 describes the waters issuing from the threshold of the house as flowing into the Dead Sea, and purifying it. Also in Zac 14:8 the waters flow on one side into the Mediterranean, on the other side into the Dead Sea, near which latter Shittim was situated (compare Psa 46:4; Rev 22:1). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
And it shall come to pass in that Day - After the destruction of antichrist, there will, it seems, still be a period of probation, in which the grace of God will abound and extend more and more widely. The prophet Zechariah, who continues on the image, of the "living waters going out from Jerusalem" Zac 14:8, places this gift after God had gathered all nations against Jerusalem, and had visibly and miraculously overthrown them Zac 14:2-4. But in that the blessings which he speaks of, are regenerating, they belong to time; the fullness of the blessing is completed only in eternity; the dawn is on earth, the everlasting brightness is in heaven. But though the prophecy belongs eminently to one time, the imagery describes the fulness of spiritual blessings which God at all times diffuses in and through the Church; and these blessings, he says, shall continue on in her for ever; her enemies shall be cut off for ever. It may be, that Joel would mark a fresh beginning and summary by his words, "It shall be in that Day." The prophets do often begin, again and again, their descriptions. Union with God, which is their theme, is one. Every gift of God to His elect, except the beatific vision, is begun in time, union with Himself, indwelling, His Spirit flowing forth from Him into His creatures, His love, knowledge of Him, although here through a glass darkly.
The promise cannot relate to exuberance of temporal blessings, even as tokens of God's favor. For he says, "a fountain shall come forth of the house of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim." But "the valley of Shittim" is on the other side Jordan, beyond the Dead Sea, so that by nature the waters could not flow there. The valley of Shittim or acacia trees is a dry valley, for in such the Easten Acacia, i. e., the sant or sandal wood grows. "It is," says Jerome (on Isa 12:1-6 :19), "a tree which grows in the desert, like a white thorn in color and leaves, not in size. For they are of such size, that very large planks , are cut out of them. The wood is very strong, and of incredible lightness and beauty. They do not grow in cultivated places, or in the Roman soil, save only in the desert of Arabia." It does not decay ; and when old becomes like ebony . Of it the ark of God was made, its staves, the table of showbread, the tabernacle and its pillars, the altar for burnt-offerings, and of incense Exo 25:5, Exo 25:10, Exo 25:13, Exo 25:23, Exo 25:28; Exo 26:15, Exo 26:26, Exo 26:32, Exo 26:37; Exo 27:1, Exo 27:6; Exo 30:1; Exo 35:7, Exo 35:24; Exo 36:20, Exo 36:31, Exo 36:36; Exo 37:1, Exo 37:4, Exo 37:10, Exo 37:15, Exo 37:25, Exo 37:28; Exo 38:1, Exo 38:6; Deu 10:3. The valley is about six miles from Livias , seven and a half beyond the Dead Sea . It was the last station of Israel, before entering the land of promise Num 33:49, from where Joshua sent out the spies Jos 2:1; where God turned the curse of Balaam into a blessling Num. 23; 24; Mic 6:5; and he prophesied of the Star which should arise out of Israel, even Christ Num 24:17; where Israel sinned in Baal Peor, and Phineas turned aside His displeasure Num 25:1, Num 25:7, Num 25:11.
The existence of a large supply of water under the temple is beyond all question. While the temple was still standing, mention is made up of "a fountain of ever-flowing water under the temple," as well as pools and cisterns for preserving rain-water. One evidently well acquainted with the localities says , "The pavement has slopes at befitting places, for the sake of a flush of water which takes place in order to cleanse away the blood from the victims. For on festivals many myriads of animals are sacrificed. But of water there is an unfailing supply, a copious and natural fountain within gushing over, and there being moreover wonderful underground-receptacles in a circuit of five furlongs, in the substructure of the temple, and each of these having numerous pipes, the several streams inter-communicating, and all these closed up below and on the sides - There are also many mouths toward the base, invisible to all except those to whom the service of the temple belongs. So that the manifold blood of the sacrifices being brought together are cleansed by the gush (of water down) the slope."
This same writer relates that, more than half a mile from the city, he was told to stoop down and heard the sound of gushing waters underground. The natural fountain, then, beneath the temple was doubtless augmented by waters brought from a distance, as required for the "divers washings" both of the priests and other things, and to carry off the blood of the victims. Pools near the temple are mentioned by writers of the third and fourth century ; and Omar, on the surrender of Jerusalem, 634 a.d., was guided to the site of the ancient temple (whereon he built his Mosk) by the stream of water which issued through a water-channel from it . Whencesoever this water was derived, whether from a perennial spring beneath the temple itself, or whether brought there from some unfailing source without, it afforded Jerusalem an abundant supply of water.
Much as Jerusalem suffered in sieges by famine, and its besiegers by thirst, thirst was never any part of the sufferings of those within . The superfluous water was and still is carried off underground, to what is now "the fountain of the Virgin" , and thence again, through the rock, to the pool of Siloam . Thence it carried fertility to the gardens of Siloam, in Joel's time doubtless "the king's gardens" , still "a verdant spot, refreshing to the eye in the heat of summer, while all around is parched and dun." The blood of the victims flowed into the same brook Kidron, and was a known source of fertility, before the land was given to desolation. The waters of Kidron, as well as all the waters of Palestine, must have been more abundant formerly.
Isaiah speaks of it as "flowing softly" Isa 8:6; Josephus , of the "abundant fountain;" an official report , of the "fountain gushing forth with abundance of water." Still its fertilizing powers formed but one little oasis, where all around was arid. It fertilized those gardens live miles from the city, but the mid-space was waterless , thirsty, mournful . Lower down, the rivulet threaded its way to the Dead Sea, through a narrow ravine which became more and more wild, where Saba planted his monastery. "A howling wilderness, stern desolation. stupendous perpendicular cliffs, terrific chasms, oppressive solitude" are the terms by which one endeavors to characterize "the heart of this stern desert of Judaea" .
Such continues to be its character, in the remaining half of its course, until it is lost in the Dead Sea, and is transmuted into its saltness. Its valley bears the name of desolation, Wady en Nar , "valley of fire." No human path lies along it. The Kidron flows along "a deep and almost impenetrable ravine" Psa 46:4, "in a narrow channel between perpendicular walls of rock, as if worn away by the rushing waters between those desolate chalky hills." That little oasis of verdure was fit emblem of the Jewish people, itself bedewed by the stream which issued from the Temple of God, but, like Gideon's fleece, leaving all around dry. It made no sensible impression out of, or beyond itself. Hereafter, "the stream", the Siloah, whose "streamlets," i. e., the artificial fertilizing divisions, "made glad the city of God" Eze 47:1-12, should make the wildest, driest spots of our mortality "like the garden of the Lord." Desolation should become bright and happy; the parched earth should shoot up fresh with life; what was by nature barren and unfruitful should bring forth good fruit; places heretofore stained by sin should be purified; nature should be renewed by grace; and that, beyond the borders of the promised land, in that world which they had left, when Joshua brought them in there.
This, which it needs many words to explain, was vivid to those to whom Joel spoke. They had that spot of emerald green before their eyes, over which the stream which they then knew to issue from the temple trickled in transparent brightness, conducted by those channels formed by man's diligence. The eyes of the citizens of Jerusalem must have rested with pleasure on it amid the parched surface around. Fresher than the gladliest freshness of nature, brighter than its most kindled glow, is the renewing freshness of grace; and this, issuing from mount Zion, was to be the portion not of Judea only, but of the world.
The vision of Ezekiel Eze 47:1-12, which is a comment on the prophecy of Joel, clearly belongs primarily to this life. For in this life only is there need for healing; in this life only is there a desert land to be made fruitful; death to be changed into life; death and life, the healed and unhealed, side by side; life, where the stream of God's grace reacheth, and death and barrenness, where it reacheth not. The fishers who spread their nests amid "the fish, exceeding many," are an emblem which waited for and received its explanation from the parables of our Lord.
In the Revelation, above all, the peace, glory, holiness, vision of God, can only be fulfilled in the sight of God. Yet here too the increase of the Church, and the healing of the nations Rev 21:24-26; Rev 22:21, belong to time and to a state of probation, not of full fruition.
But then neither can those other symbols relate to earthly things.
The mountains shall drop down new wine - Literally, "trodden" out. What is ordinarily obtained by toil, shall be poured forth spontaneously. "And the hills shall flow with milk," literally, "flow milk," as though they themselves, of their own accord, gushed forth into the good gifts which they yield. "Wine" ever new, and ever renewing, sweet and gladdening the heart; "milk," the emblem of the spiritual food of childlike souls, of purest knowledge, holy devotion, angelic purity, heavenly pleasure. And these shall never cease. These gifts are spoken of, as the spontaneous, perpetual flow of the mountains and hills; and as the fountain gushes forth from the hill or mountain-side in one ceaseless flow, day and night, streaming out from the hidden recesses to which the waters are supplied by God from His treasure-house of the rain, so day and night, in sorrow or in joy, in prosperity or adversity, God pours out, in the Church and in the souls of His elect, the riches of His grace. "All the rivers," literally "channels, of Judah shall flow with water." Every "channel," however narrow and easily drying up, shall "flow with water," gushing forth unto everlasting life; the love of God shall stream through every heart; each shall he full according to its capacity and none the less full, because a larger tide pours through others. How much more , "in those everlasting hills of heaven, "the heavenly Jerusalem," resting on the eternity and Godhead of the Holy Trinity, shall that long promise be fulfilled of the land flowing with milk and honey, where God, through the beatific vision of Himself, shall pour into the blessed "the torrent of pleasure," the unutterable sweetness of joy and gladness unspeakable in Himself; and "all the rivers of Judah," i. e., all the powers, capacities, senses, speech of the saints who "confess" God, shall flow with a perennial stream of joy, thanksgiving, and jubilee, as of all pleasure and bliss." |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
After the judgment upon all nations, the land of the Lord will overflow with streams of divine blessing; but the seat of the world-power will become a barren waste. Joe 3:18. "And it comes to pass in that day, the mountains will trickle down with new wine, and the hills flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah flow with water; and a fountain will issue from the house of Jehovah, and water the Acacia valley. Joe 3:19. Egypt will become a desolation, and Edom a barren waste, for the sin upon the sons of Judah, that they have shed innocent blood in their land. Joe 3:20. But Judah, it will dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. Joe 3:21. And I shall expiate their blood that I have not expiated: and Jehovah dwelleth upon Zion." The end of the ways of the Lord is eternal blessing for His people, whilst the enemies of His kingdom fall victims to the curse. This thought is expressed in figures taken from the state of the covenant land of the Old Testament, and those of the bordering kingdoms of Egypt and Edom which were hostile to Israel. If we bear this in mind, we shall not fall into Volck's error, of seeking in this description for a clear statement as to the transfiguration of the land of Israel during the thousand years' reign, whilst the rest of the earth is not yet glorified; for it is evident from Joe 3:18, as compared with the parallel passages, viz., Zac 14:6. and Eze 47:1-12, that this passage does not teach the earthly glorification of Palestine, and desolation of Egypt and Idumaea, but that Judah and Jerusalem are types of the kingdom of God, whilst Egypt and Edom are types of the world-powers that are at enmity against God; in other words, that this description is not to be understood literally, but spiritually. "In that day," viz., the period following the final judgment upon the heathen, the mountains and hills of Judah, i.e., the least fruitful portions of the Old Testament kingdom of God in the time of the prophet, will overflow with new wine and milk, and all the brooks of water be filled, i.e., no more dry up in the hot season of the year (Joe 1:20). Thus will the fruitfulness of Canaan, the land of the Lord, flowing with milk and honey, come forth in all its potency. Even the unfruitful acacia valley will be watered by a spring issuing from the house of Jehovah, and turned into a fruitful land. The valley of Shittim is the barren valley of the Jordan, above the Dead Sea. The name Shittim, acacia, is taken from the last encampment of the Israelites in the steppes of Moab, before their entrance into Canaan (Num 25:1; Jos 3:1), and was chosen by the prophet to denote a very dry valley, as the acacia grows in a dry soil (cf. Celsii, Hierob. i. p. 500ff.). The spring which waters this valley, and proceeds from the house of Jehovah, and the living water that flows from Jerusalem, according to Zac 14:8, are of course not earthly streams that are constantly flowing, as distinguished from the streams caused by rain and snow, which very soon dry up again, but spiritual waters of life (Joh 4:10, Joh 4:14; Joh 7:38); and, in fact, as a comparison of Eze 47:7-12 with Rev 22:1-2 clearly shows, the "river of the water of life, clear as a crystal," which in the New Jerusalem coming down from God upon the earth (Rev 21:10) proceeds out of the throne of God and of the Lamb, and on both sides of which there grows the tree of life, that bears its fruit twelve times a-year, or every month, and the leaves of which are for the healing of the nations. The partially verbal agreement between the description of this river of water in Rev 22:2, and that in Eze 47:12, overthrows the millenarian view, that the glorification of Judah and Jerusalem, predicted by Joel, Zechariah, and Ezekiel, will be a partial glorification of the earth, viz., of the Holy Land, which takes place before the creation of the new heaven and the new earth.
Joe 3:19
On the other hand, the curse of desolation will fall upon Egypt and Edom, on account of the sin which they have committed upon the sons of Judah. חמס בּני, with the genitive of the object, as in Oba 1:10; Hab 2:8, Hab 2:17, etc. This sin is then more precisely defined, as consisting in the fact that they had shed innocent blood of the sons of Judah, i.e., of the people of God, in their land ('artsâm, the land of the Egyptians and Edomites, not of the Judaeans): that is to say, in the Egypt in the olden time, more especially by the command to slay all the Hebrew boys (Exo 1:16), and in the Edom of more recent times, probably when throwing off the dominion of Judah (see at Amo 1:11 and Oba 1:10). These nations and lands had both thereby become types of the power of the world in its hostility to God, in which capacity they are mentioned here, and Edom again in Isaiah 34 and 63; cf. Jer 49:7. and Eze 35:1-15.
Joe 3:20
On the other hand, Judah and Jerusalem shall dwell for ever, - a poetical expression for "be inhabited," both land and city being personified, as in Isa 13:20, etc. Thus will Jehovah, by means of the final judgment upon the heathen, wipe away the bloodguiltiness that they have contracted in their treatment of His people, and manifest Himself as King of Zion. With these thoughts the prophecy of Joel closes (Joe 3:21). The verb niqqâh, to cleanse, with dâm, to wipe away or expunge blood-guiltiness by punishment, is chosen with reference to דּם נקיא in Joe 3:19; and לא נקּיתי, which follows, is to be taken in a relative sense: so that there is no need to alter ונקּיתי into ונקּמתּי otni ונקּ (Ges.); and the latter has no critical support in the Septuagint rendering καὶ ἐκζητήσω, which merely reproduces the sense.
Joe 3:21
Joe 3:21 does not contain the announcement of a still further punishment upon Egypt and Edom, but simply the thought with which the proclamation of the judgment closes - namely, that the eternal desolation of the world-kingdoms mentioned here will wipe out all the wrong which they have done to the people of God, and which has hitherto remained unpunished. But Zion will rejoice in the eternal reign of its God. Jehovah dwells upon Zion, when He manifests Himself to all the world as the King of His people, on the one hand by the annihilation of His foes, and on the other hand by the perfecting of His kingdom in glory.

| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| The mountains - The vines planted upon the mountains. Shall flow - So fruitful shall the hills be, that milk shall abound every where. A fountain - The prophet alludes to those waters which were conveyed from some spring through conduit pipes towards the altar. This no doubt is a shadow of the purifying blood of Christ, and his sanctifying spirit and word. And in that it is said to come from the house of the Lord, it intimates that this saving grace shall be first preached from Jerusalem, and by the church, which is the house of God, shall be published to others. Shittim - Was a place in the plains of Moab. These spiritual waters shall flow down to the dry and thirsty, the barren and fruitless Gentiles, and make them fruitful. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
In that day - After their return from their captivities.
The mountains shall drop down new wine - A poetic expression for great fertility. Happy times: peace and plenty. The vines shall grow luxuriantly on the sides of the mountains; and the hills shall produce such rich pastures that the flocks shall yield abundance of milk.
And all the rivers of Judah - Far from being generally dry in the summer, shall have their channels always full of water.
And a fountain shall come forth of the house of the Lord - See the account of the typical waters in Ezekiel 47, to which this seems to have a reference; at least the subject is the same, and seems to point out the grace of the Gospel, the waters of salvation, that shall flow from Jerusalem, and water the valley of Shittim. Shittim was in the plains of Moab beyond Jordan; Num 33:49; Jos 3:1; but as no stream of water could flow from the temple, pass across Jordan, or reach this plain, the valley of Shittim must be considered symbolical, as the valley of Jehoshaphat. But as Shittim may signify thorns, it may figuratively represent the most uncultivated and ferocious inhabitants of the earth receiving the Gospel of Christ, and being civilized and saved by it. We know that briers and thorns are emblems of bad men; see Eze 2:6. Thus all the figures in this verse will point out the happy times of the Gospel: the mountains shall drop down new wine; the hills flow with milk; the thorny valleys become fertile, etc. Similar to those almost parallel words of the prince of poets: -
Mistaque ridenti colocasia fundet acantho.
Ipsae lacte domum referent destenta capellae
Ubera: nec magnos metuent armenta leones.
Molli paullatim flavescet campus arista,
Incultisque rubens pendebit sentibus uva:
Et durae quercus sudabunt roscida mella.
Virg. Ed. 4:20.
Unbidden earth shall wreathing ivy bring,
And fragrant herbs the promises of spring.
The goats with streaming dugs shall homeward speed;
And lowing herds, secure from lions, feed.
Unlabour'd harvests shall the fields adorn,
And cluster'd grapes shall grow on every thorn:
The knotted oaks shall showers of honey weep.
Dryden. |
1 And [2532] he shewed [1166] me [3427] a pure [2513] river [4215] of water [5204] of life [2222], clear [2986] as [5613] crystal [2930], proceeding [1607] out of [1537] the throne [2362] of God [2316] and [2532] of the Lamb [721].
4 There is a river [05104], the streams [06388] whereof shall make glad [08055] the city [05892] of God [0430], the holy [06918] place of the tabernacles [04908] of the most High [05945].
8 And it shall be in that day [03117], that living [02416] waters [04325] shall go out [03318] from Jerusalem [03389]; half [02677] of them toward the former [06931] sea [03220], and half [02677] of them toward the hinder [0314] sea [03220]: in summer [07019] and in winter [02779] shall it be.
1 Afterward he brought me again [07725] unto the door [06607] of the house [01004]; and, behold, waters [04325] issued out [03318] from under the threshold [04670] of the house [01004] eastward [06921]: for the forefront [06440] of the house [01004] stood toward the east [06921], and the waters [04325] came down [03381] from under from the right [03233] side [03802] of the house [01004], at the south [05045] side of the altar [04196].
2 Then brought he me out [03318] of the way [01870] of the gate [08179] northward [06828], and led me about [05437] the way [01870] without unto the utter [02351] gate [08179] by the way [01870] that looketh [06437] eastward [06921]; and, behold, there ran out [06379] waters [04325] on the right [03233] side [03802].
3 And when the man [0376] that had the line [06957] in his hand [03027] went forth [03318] eastward [06921], he measured [04058] a thousand [0505] cubits [0520], and he brought me through [05674] the waters [04325]; the waters [04325] were to the ankles [0657].
4 Again he measured [04058] a thousand [0505], and brought me through [05674] the waters [04325]; the waters [04325] were to the knees [01290]. Again he measured [04058] a thousand [0505], and brought me through [05674]; the waters [04325] were to the loins [04975].
5 Afterward he measured [04058] a thousand [0505]; and it was a river [05158] that I could [03201] not pass over [05674]: for the waters [04325] were risen [01342], waters [04325] to swim in [07813], a river [05158] that could not be passed over [05674].
6 And he said [0559] unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], hast thou seen [07200] this? Then he brought [03212] me, and caused me to return [07725] to the brink [08193] of the river [05158].
7 Now when I had returned [07725], behold, at the bank [08193] of the river [05158] were very [03966] many [07227] trees [06086] on the one side and on the other.
8 Then said [0559] he unto me, These waters [04325] issue out [03318] toward the east [06930] country [01552], and go down [03381] into the desert [06160], and go [0935] into the sea [03220]: which being brought forth [03318] into the sea [03220], the waters [04325] shall be healed [07495].
9 And it shall come to pass, that every thing [05315] that liveth [02416], which moveth [08317], whithersoever the rivers [05158] shall come [0935], shall live [02421]: and there shall be a very [03966] great [07227] multitude of fish [01710], because these waters [04325] shall come [0935] thither: for they shall be healed [07495]; and every thing shall live [02425] whither the river [05158] cometh [0935].
10 And it shall come to pass, that the fishers [01728] shall stand [05975] [05975] upon it from Engedi [05872] even unto Eneglaim [05882]; they shall be a place to spread forth [04894] nets [02764]; their fish [01710] shall be according to their kinds [04327], as the fish [01710] of the great [01419] sea [03220], exceeding [03966] many [07227].
11 But the miry places [01207] thereof and the marishes [01360] thereof shall not be healed [07495]; they shall be given [05414] to salt [04417].
12 And by the river [05158] upon the bank [08193] thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow [05927] all trees [06086] for meat [03978], whose leaf [05929] shall not fade [05034], neither shall the fruit [06529] thereof be consumed [08552]: it shall bring forth new fruit [01069] according to his months [02320], because their waters [04325] they issued out [03318] of the sanctuary [04720]: and the fruit [06529] thereof shall be for meat [03978], and the leaf [05929] thereof for medicine [08644].
5 O my people [05971], remember [02142] now what Balak [01111] king [04428] of Moab [04124] consulted [03289], and what Balaam [01109] the son [01121] of Beor [01160] answered [06030] him from Shittim [07851] unto Gilgal [01537]; that ye may know [03045] the righteousness [06666] of the LORD [03068].
1 And Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126] sent [07971] out of Shittim [07851] two [08147] men [0582] to spy [07270] secretly [02791], saying [0559], Go [03212] view [07200] the land [0776], even Jericho [03405]. And they went [03212], and came [0935] into an harlot's [02181] house [0802] [01004], named [08034] Rahab [07343], and lodged [07901] there.
49 And they pitched [02583] by Jordan [03383], from Bethjesimoth [01020] even unto Abelshittim [063] in the plains [06160] of Moab [04124].
1 And Israel [03478] abode [03427] in Shittim [07851], and the people [05971] began [02490] to commit whoredom [02181] with the daughters [01323] of Moab [04124].
25 And there shall be upon every high [01364] mountain [02022], and upon every high [05375] hill [01389], rivers [06388] and streams [02988] of waters [04325] in the day [03117] of the great [07227] slaughter [02027], when the towers [04026] fall [05307].
13 Behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that the plowman [02790] shall overtake [05066] the reaper [07114], and the treader [01869] of grapes [06025] him that soweth [04900] seed [02233]; and the mountains [02022] shall drop [05197] sweet wine [06071], and all the hills [01389] shall melt [04127].
21 The grace [5485] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] be with [3326] you [5216] all [3956]. Amen [281].
24 And [2532] the nations [1484] of them which are saved [4982] shall walk [4043] in [1722] the light [5457] of it [846]: and [2532] the kings [935] of the earth [1093] do bring [5342] their [846] glory [1391] and [2532] honour [5092] into [1519] it [846].
25 And [2532] the gates [4440] of it [846] shall [2808] not [3364] be shut [2808] at all [3364] by day [2250]: for [1063] there shall be [2071] no [3756] night [3571] there [1563].
26 And [2532] they shall bring [5342] the glory [1391] and [2532] honour [5092] of the nations [1484] into [1519] it [846].
1 Afterward he brought me again [07725] unto the door [06607] of the house [01004]; and, behold, waters [04325] issued out [03318] from under the threshold [04670] of the house [01004] eastward [06921]: for the forefront [06440] of the house [01004] stood toward the east [06921], and the waters [04325] came down [03381] from under from the right [03233] side [03802] of the house [01004], at the south [05045] side of the altar [04196].
2 Then brought he me out [03318] of the way [01870] of the gate [08179] northward [06828], and led me about [05437] the way [01870] without unto the utter [02351] gate [08179] by the way [01870] that looketh [06437] eastward [06921]; and, behold, there ran out [06379] waters [04325] on the right [03233] side [03802].
3 And when the man [0376] that had the line [06957] in his hand [03027] went forth [03318] eastward [06921], he measured [04058] a thousand [0505] cubits [0520], and he brought me through [05674] the waters [04325]; the waters [04325] were to the ankles [0657].
4 Again he measured [04058] a thousand [0505], and brought me through [05674] the waters [04325]; the waters [04325] were to the knees [01290]. Again he measured [04058] a thousand [0505], and brought me through [05674]; the waters [04325] were to the loins [04975].
5 Afterward he measured [04058] a thousand [0505]; and it was a river [05158] that I could [03201] not pass over [05674]: for the waters [04325] were risen [01342], waters [04325] to swim in [07813], a river [05158] that could not be passed over [05674].
6 And he said [0559] unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], hast thou seen [07200] this? Then he brought [03212] me, and caused me to return [07725] to the brink [08193] of the river [05158].
7 Now when I had returned [07725], behold, at the bank [08193] of the river [05158] were very [03966] many [07227] trees [06086] on the one side and on the other.
8 Then said [0559] he unto me, These waters [04325] issue out [03318] toward the east [06930] country [01552], and go down [03381] into the desert [06160], and go [0935] into the sea [03220]: which being brought forth [03318] into the sea [03220], the waters [04325] shall be healed [07495].
9 And it shall come to pass, that every thing [05315] that liveth [02416], which moveth [08317], whithersoever the rivers [05158] shall come [0935], shall live [02421]: and there shall be a very [03966] great [07227] multitude of fish [01710], because these waters [04325] shall come [0935] thither: for they shall be healed [07495]; and every thing shall live [02425] whither the river [05158] cometh [0935].
10 And it shall come to pass, that the fishers [01728] shall stand [05975] [05975] upon it from Engedi [05872] even unto Eneglaim [05882]; they shall be a place to spread forth [04894] nets [02764]; their fish [01710] shall be according to their kinds [04327], as the fish [01710] of the great [01419] sea [03220], exceeding [03966] many [07227].
11 But the miry places [01207] thereof and the marishes [01360] thereof shall not be healed [07495]; they shall be given [05414] to salt [04417].
12 And by the river [05158] upon the bank [08193] thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow [05927] all trees [06086] for meat [03978], whose leaf [05929] shall not fade [05034], neither shall the fruit [06529] thereof be consumed [08552]: it shall bring forth new fruit [01069] according to his months [02320], because their waters [04325] they issued out [03318] of the sanctuary [04720]: and the fruit [06529] thereof shall be for meat [03978], and the leaf [05929] thereof for medicine [08644].
1 Afterward he brought me again [07725] unto the door [06607] of the house [01004]; and, behold, waters [04325] issued out [03318] from under the threshold [04670] of the house [01004] eastward [06921]: for the forefront [06440] of the house [01004] stood toward the east [06921], and the waters [04325] came down [03381] from under from the right [03233] side [03802] of the house [01004], at the south [05045] side of the altar [04196].
2 Then brought he me out [03318] of the way [01870] of the gate [08179] northward [06828], and led me about [05437] the way [01870] without unto the utter [02351] gate [08179] by the way [01870] that looketh [06437] eastward [06921]; and, behold, there ran out [06379] waters [04325] on the right [03233] side [03802].
3 And when the man [0376] that had the line [06957] in his hand [03027] went forth [03318] eastward [06921], he measured [04058] a thousand [0505] cubits [0520], and he brought me through [05674] the waters [04325]; the waters [04325] were to the ankles [0657].
4 Again he measured [04058] a thousand [0505], and brought me through [05674] the waters [04325]; the waters [04325] were to the knees [01290]. Again he measured [04058] a thousand [0505], and brought me through [05674]; the waters [04325] were to the loins [04975].
5 Afterward he measured [04058] a thousand [0505]; and it was a river [05158] that I could [03201] not pass over [05674]: for the waters [04325] were risen [01342], waters [04325] to swim in [07813], a river [05158] that could not be passed over [05674].
6 And he said [0559] unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], hast thou seen [07200] this? Then he brought [03212] me, and caused me to return [07725] to the brink [08193] of the river [05158].
7 Now when I had returned [07725], behold, at the bank [08193] of the river [05158] were very [03966] many [07227] trees [06086] on the one side and on the other.
8 Then said [0559] he unto me, These waters [04325] issue out [03318] toward the east [06930] country [01552], and go down [03381] into the desert [06160], and go [0935] into the sea [03220]: which being brought forth [03318] into the sea [03220], the waters [04325] shall be healed [07495].
9 And it shall come to pass, that every thing [05315] that liveth [02416], which moveth [08317], whithersoever the rivers [05158] shall come [0935], shall live [02421]: and there shall be a very [03966] great [07227] multitude of fish [01710], because these waters [04325] shall come [0935] thither: for they shall be healed [07495]; and every thing shall live [02425] whither the river [05158] cometh [0935].
10 And it shall come to pass, that the fishers [01728] shall stand [05975] [05975] upon it from Engedi [05872] even unto Eneglaim [05882]; they shall be a place to spread forth [04894] nets [02764]; their fish [01710] shall be according to their kinds [04327], as the fish [01710] of the great [01419] sea [03220], exceeding [03966] many [07227].
11 But the miry places [01207] thereof and the marishes [01360] thereof shall not be healed [07495]; they shall be given [05414] to salt [04417].
12 And by the river [05158] upon the bank [08193] thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow [05927] all trees [06086] for meat [03978], whose leaf [05929] shall not fade [05034], neither shall the fruit [06529] thereof be consumed [08552]: it shall bring forth new fruit [01069] according to his months [02320], because their waters [04325] they issued out [03318] of the sanctuary [04720]: and the fruit [06529] thereof shall be for meat [03978], and the leaf [05929] thereof for medicine [08644].
4 There is a river [05104], the streams [06388] whereof shall make glad [08055] the city [05892] of God [0430], the holy [06918] place of the tabernacles [04908] of the most High [05945].
6 Forasmuch [03282] as this people [05971] refuseth [03988] the waters [04325] of Shiloah [07975] that go [01980] softly [0328], and rejoice [04885] in Rezin [07526] and Remaliah's [07425] son [01121];
11 Phinehas [06372], the son [01121] of Eleazar [0499], the son [01121] of Aaron [0175] the priest [03548], hath turned [07725] my wrath [02534] away [07725] from the children [01121] of Israel [03478], while he was zealous [07065] for my sake [07068] among [08432] them, that I consumed [03615] not the children [01121] of Israel [03478] in my jealousy [07068].
7 And when Phinehas [06372], the son [01121] of Eleazar [0499], the son [01121] of Aaron [0175] the priest [03548], saw [07200] it, he rose up [06965] from among [08432] the congregation [05712], and took [03947] a javelin [07420] in his hand [03027];
1 And Israel [03478] abode [03427] in Shittim [07851], and the people [05971] began [02490] to commit whoredom [02181] with the daughters [01323] of Moab [04124].
17 I shall see [07200] him, but not now: I shall behold [07789] him, but not nigh [07138]: there shall come [01869] a Star [03556] out of Jacob [03290], and a Sceptre [07626] shall rise [06965] out of Israel [03478], and shall smite [04272] the corners [06285] of Moab [04124], and destroy [06979] all the children [01121] of Sheth [08352] [08351].
5 O my people [05971], remember [02142] now what Balak [01111] king [04428] of Moab [04124] consulted [03289], and what Balaam [01109] the son [01121] of Beor [01160] answered [06030] him from Shittim [07851] unto Gilgal [01537]; that ye may know [03045] the righteousness [06666] of the LORD [03068].
1 And Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126] sent [07971] out of Shittim [07851] two [08147] men [0582] to spy [07270] secretly [02791], saying [0559], Go [03212] view [07200] the land [0776], even Jericho [03405]. And they went [03212], and came [0935] into an harlot's [02181] house [0802] [01004], named [08034] Rahab [07343], and lodged [07901] there.
49 And they pitched [02583] by Jordan [03383], from Bethjesimoth [01020] even unto Abelshittim [063] in the plains [06160] of Moab [04124].
3 And I made [06213] an ark [0727] of shittim [07848] wood [06086], and hewed [06458] two [08147] tables [03871] of stone [068] like unto the first [07223], and went up [05927] into the mount [02022], having the two [08147] tables [03871] in mine hand [03027].
6 And he made [06213] the staves [0905] of shittim [07848] wood [06086], and overlaid [06823] them with brass [05178].
1 And he made [06213] the altar [04196] of burnt offering [05930] of shittim [07848] wood [06086]: five [02568] cubits [0520] was the length [0753] thereof, and five [02568] cubits [0520] the breadth [07341] thereof; it was foursquare [07251]; and three [07969] cubits [0520] the height [06967] thereof.
28 And he made [06213] the staves [0905] of shittim [07848] wood [06086], and overlaid [06823] them with gold [02091].
25 And he made [06213] the incense [07004] altar [04196] of shittim [07848] wood [06086]: the length [0753] of it was a cubit [0520], and the breadth [07341] of it a cubit [0520]; it was foursquare [07251]; and two cubits [0520] was the height [06967] of it; the horns [07161] thereof were of the same.
15 And he made [06213] the staves [0905] of shittim [07848] wood [06086], and overlaid [06823] them with gold [02091], to bear [05375] the table [07979].
10 And he made [06213] the table [07979] of shittim [07848] wood [06086]: two cubits [0520] was the length [0753] thereof, and a cubit [0520] the breadth [07341] thereof, and a cubit [0520] and a half [02677] the height [06967] thereof:
4 And he made [06213] staves [0905] of shittim [07848] wood [06086], and overlaid [06823] them with gold [02091].
1 And Bezaleel [01212] made [06213] the ark [0727] of shittim [07848] wood [06086]: two cubits [0520] and a half [02677] was the length [0753] of it, and a cubit [0520] and a half [02677] the breadth [07341] of it, and a cubit [0520] and a half [02677] the height [06967] of it:
36 And he made [06213] thereunto four [0702] pillars [05982] of shittim [07848] wood, and overlaid [06823] them with gold [02091]: their hooks [02053] were of gold [02091]; and he cast [03332] for them four [0702] sockets [0134] of silver [03701].
31 And he made [06213] bars [01280] of shittim [07848] wood [06086]; five [02568] for the boards [07175] of the one [0259] side [06763] of the tabernacle [04908],
20 And he made [06213] boards [07175] for the tabernacle [04908] of shittim [07848] wood [06086], standing up [05975].
24 Every one that did offer [07311] an offering [08641] of silver [03701] and brass [05178] brought [0935] the LORD'S [03068] offering [08641]: and every man, with whom was found [04672] shittim [07848] wood [06086] for any work [04399] of the service [05656], brought [0935] it.
7 And rams [0352]' skins [05785] dyed red [0119], and badgers [08476]' skins [05785], and shittim [07848] wood [06086],
1 And thou shalt make [06213] an altar [04196] to burn [04729] incense [07004] upon: of shittim [07848] wood [06086] shalt thou make [06213] it.
6 And thou shalt make [06213] staves [0905] for the altar [04196], staves [0905] of shittim [07848] wood [06086], and overlay [06823] them with brass [05178].
1 And thou shalt make [06213] an altar [04196] of shittim [07848] wood [06086], five [02568] cubits [0520] long [0753], and five [02568] cubits [0520] broad [07341]; the altar [04196] shall be foursquare [07251]: and the height [06967] thereof shall be three [07969] cubits [0520].
37 And thou shalt make [06213] for the hanging [04539] five [02568] pillars [05982] of shittim [07848] wood, and overlay [06823] them with gold [02091], and their hooks [02053] shall be of gold [02091]: and thou shalt cast [03332] five [02568] sockets [0134] of brass [05178] for them.
32 And thou shalt hang [05414] it upon four [0702] pillars [05982] of shittim [07848] wood overlaid [06823] with gold [02091]: their hooks [02053] shall be of gold [02091], upon the four [0702] sockets [0134] of silver [03701].
26 And thou shalt make [06213] bars [01280] of shittim [07848] wood [06086]; five [02568] for the boards [07175] of the one [0259] side [06763] of the tabernacle [04908],
15 And thou shalt make [06213] boards [07175] for the tabernacle [04908] of shittim [07848] wood [06086] standing up [05975].

13 And thou shalt make [06213] staves [0905] of shittim [07848] wood [06086], and overlay [06823] them with gold [02091].
10 And they shall make [06213] an ark [0727] of shittim [07848] wood [06086]: two cubits [0520] and a half [02677] shall be the length [0753] thereof, and a cubit [0520] and a half [02677] the breadth [07341] thereof, and a cubit [0520] and a half [02677] the height [06967] thereof.
5 And rams [0352]' skins [05785] dyed red [0119], and badgers [08476]' skins [05785], and shittim [07848] wood [06086],
1 And in that day [03117] thou shalt say [0559], O LORD [03068], I will praise [03034] thee: though thou wast angry [0599] with me, thine anger [0639] is turned away [07725], and thou comfortedst [05162] me.
2 Behold, God [0410] is my salvation [03444]; I will trust [0982], and not be afraid [06342]: for the LORD [03050] JEHOVAH [03068] is my strength [05797] and my song [02176]; he also is become my salvation [03444].
3 Therefore with joy [08342] shall ye draw [07579] water [04325] out of the wells [04599] of salvation [03444].
4 And in that day [03117] shall ye say [0559], Praise [03034] the LORD [03068], call [07121] upon his name [08034], declare [03045] his doings [05949] among the people [05971], make mention [02142] that his name [08034] is exalted [07682].
5 Sing [02167] unto the LORD [03068]; for he hath done [06213] excellent things [01348]: this is known [03045] [03045] in all the earth [0776].
6 Cry out [06670] and shout [07442], thou inhabitant [03427] of Zion [06726]: for great [01419] is the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478] in the midst [07130] of thee.
2 For I will gather [0622] all nations [01471] against Jerusalem [03389] to battle [04421]; and the city [05892] shall be taken [03920], and the houses [01004] rifled [08155], and the women [0802] ravished [07901] [07693]; and half [02677] of the city [05892] shall go forth [03318] into captivity [01473], and the residue [03499] of the people [05971] shall not be cut off [03772] from the city [05892].
3 Then shall the LORD [03068] go forth [03318], and fight [03898] against those nations [01471], as when [03117] he fought [03898] in the day [03117] of battle [07128].
4 And his feet [07272] shall stand [05975] in that day [03117] upon the mount [02022] of Olives [02132], which is before [06440] Jerusalem [03389] on the east [06924], and the mount [02022] of Olives [02132] shall cleave [01234] in the midst [02677] thereof toward the east [04217] and toward the west [03220], and there shall be a very [03966] great [01419] valley [01516]; and half [02677] of the mountain [02022] shall remove [04185] toward the north [06828], and half [02677] of it toward the south [05045].
8 And it shall be in that day [03117], that living [02416] waters [04325] shall go out [03318] from Jerusalem [03389]; half [02677] of them toward the former [06931] sea [03220], and half [02677] of them toward the hinder [0314] sea [03220]: in summer [07019] and in winter [02779] shall it be.
21 For I will cleanse [05352] their blood [01818] that I have not cleansed [05352]: for the LORD [03068] dwelleth [07931] in Zion [06726].
21 For I will cleanse [05352] their blood [01818] that I have not cleansed [05352]: for the LORD [03068] dwelleth [07931] in Zion [06726].
19 Egypt [04714] shall be a desolation [08077], and Edom [0123] shall be a desolate [08077] wilderness [04057], for the violence [02555] against the children [01121] of Judah [03063], because they have shed [08210] innocent [05355] blood [01818] in their land [0776].
21 For I will cleanse [05352] their blood [01818] that I have not cleansed [05352]: for the LORD [03068] dwelleth [07931] in Zion [06726].
20 It shall never [05331] be inhabited [03427], neither shall it be dwelt [07931] in from generation [01755] to generation [01755]: neither shall the Arabian [06163] pitch tent [0167] there; neither shall the shepherds [07462] make their fold [07257] there.
20 But Judah [03063] shall dwell [03427] for ever [05769], and Jerusalem [03389] from generation [01755] to generation [01755].
1 Moreover the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559],
2 Son [01121] of man [0120], set [07760] thy face [06440] against mount [02022] Seir [08165], and prophesy [05012] against it,
3 And say [0559] unto it, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, O mount [02022] Seir [08165], I am against thee, and I will stretch out [05186] mine hand [03027] against thee, and I will make [05414] thee most [04923] desolate [08077].
4 I will lay [07760] thy cities [05892] waste [02723], and thou shalt be desolate [08077], and thou shalt know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068].
5 Because thou hast had a perpetual [05769] hatred [0342], and hast shed [05064] the blood of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] by the force [03027] of the sword [02719] in the time [06256] of their calamity [0343], in the time [06256] that their iniquity [05771] had an end [07093]:
6 Therefore, as I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], I will prepare [06213] thee unto blood [01818], and blood [01818] shall pursue [07291] thee: sith [0518] thou hast not hated [08130] blood [01818], even blood [01818] shall pursue [07291] thee.
7 Thus will I make [05414] mount [02022] Seir [08165] most [08077] desolate [08077], and cut off [03772] from it him that passeth out [05674] and him that returneth [07725].
8 And I will fill [04390] his mountains [02022] with his slain [02491] men: in thy hills [01389], and in thy valleys [01516], and in all thy rivers [0650], shall they fall [05307] that are slain [02491] with the sword [02719].
9 I will make [05414] thee perpetual [05769] desolations [08077], and thy cities [05892] shall not return [07725] [03427]: and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068].
10 Because thou hast said [0559], These two [08147] nations [01471] and these two [08147] countries [0776] shall be mine, and we will possess [03423] it; whereas the LORD [03068] was there:
11 Therefore, as I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], I will even do [06213] according to thine anger [0639], and according to thine envy [07068] which thou hast used [06213] out of thy hatred [08135] against them; and I will make myself known [03045] among them, when I have judged [08199] thee.
12 And thou shalt know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], and that I have heard [08085] all thy blasphemies [05007] which thou hast spoken [0559] against the mountains [02022] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], They are laid desolate [08074] [08077], they are given [05414] us to consume [0402].
13 Thus with your mouth [06310] ye have boasted [01431] against me, and have multiplied [06280] your words [01697] against me: I have heard [08085] them.
14 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; When the whole earth [0776] rejoiceth [08055], I will make [06213] thee desolate [08077].
15 As thou didst rejoice [08057] at the inheritance [05159] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478], because it was desolate [08074], so will I do [06213] unto thee: thou shalt be desolate [08077], O mount [02022] Seir [08165], and all Idumea [0123], even all of it: and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068].
7 Concerning Edom [0123], thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; Is wisdom [02451] no more in Teman [08487]? is counsel [06098] perished [06] from the prudent [0995]? is their wisdom [02451] vanished [05628]?
10 For thy violence [02555] against thy brother [0251] Jacob [03290] shame [0955] shall cover [03680] thee, and thou shalt be cut off [03772] for ever [05769].
11 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; For three [07969] transgressions [06588] of Edom [0123], and for four [0702], I will not turn away [07725] the punishment thereof; because he did pursue [07291] his brother [0251] with the sword [02719], and did cast off [07843] all pity [07356], and his anger [0639] did tear [02963] perpetually [05703], and he kept [08104] his wrath [05678] for ever [05331]:
16 And he said [0559], When ye do the office of a midwife [03205] to the Hebrew women [05680], and see [07200] them upon the stools [070]; if it be a son [01121], then ye shall kill [04191] him: but if it be a daughter [01323], then she shall live [02425].
17 For the violence [02555] of Lebanon [03844] shall cover [03680] thee, and the spoil [07701] of beasts [0929], which made them afraid [02865], because of men's [0120] blood [01818], and for the violence [02555] of the land [0776], of the city [07151], and of all that dwell [03427] therein.
8 Because thou hast spoiled [07997] many [07227] nations [01471], all the remnant [03499] of the people [05971] shall spoil [07997] thee; because of men's [0120] blood [01818], and for the violence [02555] of the land [0776], of the city [07151], and of all that dwell [03427] therein.
10 For thy violence [02555] against thy brother [0251] Jacob [03290] shame [0955] shall cover [03680] thee, and thou shalt be cut off [03772] for ever [05769].
19 Egypt [04714] shall be a desolation [08077], and Edom [0123] shall be a desolate [08077] wilderness [04057], for the violence [02555] against the children [01121] of Judah [03063], because they have shed [08210] innocent [05355] blood [01818] in their land [0776].
12 And by the river [05158] upon the bank [08193] thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow [05927] all trees [06086] for meat [03978], whose leaf [05929] shall not fade [05034], neither shall the fruit [06529] thereof be consumed [08552]: it shall bring forth new fruit [01069] according to his months [02320], because their waters [04325] they issued out [03318] of the sanctuary [04720]: and the fruit [06529] thereof shall be for meat [03978], and the leaf [05929] thereof for medicine [08644].
2 In [1722] the midst [3319] of the street [4113] of it [846], and [2532] on either [2532] side [1782] [1782] of the river [4215], was there the tree [3586] of life [2222], which bare [4160] twelve [1427] manner of fruits [2590], and yielded [591] her [846] fruit [2590] every [2596] [1538] [1520] month [3376]: and [2532] the leaves [5444] of the tree [3586] were for [1519] the healing [2322] of the nations [1484].
10 And [2532] he carried [667] me [3165] away [667] in [1722] the spirit [4151] to [1909] a great [3173] and [2532] high [5308] mountain [3735], and [2532] shewed [1166] me [3427] that great [3173] city [4172], the holy [40] Jerusalem [2419], descending [2597] out of [1537] heaven [3772] from [575] God [2316],
1 And [2532] he shewed [1166] me [3427] a pure [2513] river [4215] of water [5204] of life [2222], clear [2986] as [5613] crystal [2930], proceeding [1607] out of [1537] the throne [2362] of God [2316] and [2532] of the Lamb [721].
2 In [1722] the midst [3319] of the street [4113] of it [846], and [2532] on either [2532] side [1782] [1782] of the river [4215], was there the tree [3586] of life [2222], which bare [4160] twelve [1427] manner of fruits [2590], and yielded [591] her [846] fruit [2590] every [2596] [1538] [1520] month [3376]: and [2532] the leaves [5444] of the tree [3586] were for [1519] the healing [2322] of the nations [1484].
7 Now when I had returned [07725], behold, at the bank [08193] of the river [05158] were very [03966] many [07227] trees [06086] on the one side and on the other.
8 Then said [0559] he unto me, These waters [04325] issue out [03318] toward the east [06930] country [01552], and go down [03381] into the desert [06160], and go [0935] into the sea [03220]: which being brought forth [03318] into the sea [03220], the waters [04325] shall be healed [07495].
9 And it shall come to pass, that every thing [05315] that liveth [02416], which moveth [08317], whithersoever the rivers [05158] shall come [0935], shall live [02421]: and there shall be a very [03966] great [07227] multitude of fish [01710], because these waters [04325] shall come [0935] thither: for they shall be healed [07495]; and every thing shall live [02425] whither the river [05158] cometh [0935].
10 And it shall come to pass, that the fishers [01728] shall stand [05975] [05975] upon it from Engedi [05872] even unto Eneglaim [05882]; they shall be a place to spread forth [04894] nets [02764]; their fish [01710] shall be according to their kinds [04327], as the fish [01710] of the great [01419] sea [03220], exceeding [03966] many [07227].
11 But the miry places [01207] thereof and the marishes [01360] thereof shall not be healed [07495]; they shall be given [05414] to salt [04417].
12 And by the river [05158] upon the bank [08193] thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow [05927] all trees [06086] for meat [03978], whose leaf [05929] shall not fade [05034], neither shall the fruit [06529] thereof be consumed [08552]: it shall bring forth new fruit [01069] according to his months [02320], because their waters [04325] they issued out [03318] of the sanctuary [04720]: and the fruit [06529] thereof shall be for meat [03978], and the leaf [05929] thereof for medicine [08644].
38 He that believeth [4100] on [1519] me [1691], as [2531] the scripture [1124] hath said [2036], out of [1537] his [846] belly [2836] shall flow [4482] rivers [4215] of living [2198] water [5204].
14 But [1161] whosoever [3739] [302] drinketh [4095] of [1537] the water [5204] that [3739] I [1473] shall give [1325] him [846] shall [1372] never [1519] [165] [3364] thirst [1372]; but [235] the water [5204] that [3739] I shall give [1325] him [846] shall be [1096] in [1722] him [846] a well [4077] of water [5204] springing up [242] into [1519] everlasting [166] life [2222].
10 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto her [846], If [1487] thou knewest [1492] the gift [1431] of God [2316], and [2532] who [5101] it is [2076] that saith [3004] to thee [4671], Give [1325] me [3427] to drink [4095]; thou [4771] wouldest [302] have asked [154] of him [846], and [2532] he would [302] have given [1325] thee [4671] living [2198] water [5204].
8 And it shall be in that day [03117], that living [02416] waters [04325] shall go out [03318] from Jerusalem [03389]; half [02677] of them toward the former [06931] sea [03220], and half [02677] of them toward the hinder [0314] sea [03220]: in summer [07019] and in winter [02779] shall it be.
1 And Joshua [03091] rose early [07925] in the morning [01242]; and they removed [05265] from Shittim [07851], and came [0935] to Jordan [03383], he and all the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and lodged [03885] there before they passed over [05674].
1 And Israel [03478] abode [03427] in Shittim [07851], and the people [05971] began [02490] to commit whoredom [02181] with the daughters [01323] of Moab [04124].
20 The beasts [0929] of the field [07704] cry [06165] also unto thee: for the rivers [0650] of waters [04325] are dried up [03001], and the fire [0784] hath devoured [0398] the pastures [04999] of the wilderness [04057].
1 Afterward he brought me again [07725] unto the door [06607] of the house [01004]; and, behold, waters [04325] issued out [03318] from under the threshold [04670] of the house [01004] eastward [06921]: for the forefront [06440] of the house [01004] stood toward the east [06921], and the waters [04325] came down [03381] from under from the right [03233] side [03802] of the house [01004], at the south [05045] side of the altar [04196].
2 Then brought he me out [03318] of the way [01870] of the gate [08179] northward [06828], and led me about [05437] the way [01870] without unto the utter [02351] gate [08179] by the way [01870] that looketh [06437] eastward [06921]; and, behold, there ran out [06379] waters [04325] on the right [03233] side [03802].
3 And when the man [0376] that had the line [06957] in his hand [03027] went forth [03318] eastward [06921], he measured [04058] a thousand [0505] cubits [0520], and he brought me through [05674] the waters [04325]; the waters [04325] were to the ankles [0657].
4 Again he measured [04058] a thousand [0505], and brought me through [05674] the waters [04325]; the waters [04325] were to the knees [01290]. Again he measured [04058] a thousand [0505], and brought me through [05674]; the waters [04325] were to the loins [04975].
5 Afterward he measured [04058] a thousand [0505]; and it was a river [05158] that I could [03201] not pass over [05674]: for the waters [04325] were risen [01342], waters [04325] to swim in [07813], a river [05158] that could not be passed over [05674].
6 And he said [0559] unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], hast thou seen [07200] this? Then he brought [03212] me, and caused me to return [07725] to the brink [08193] of the river [05158].
7 Now when I had returned [07725], behold, at the bank [08193] of the river [05158] were very [03966] many [07227] trees [06086] on the one side and on the other.
8 Then said [0559] he unto me, These waters [04325] issue out [03318] toward the east [06930] country [01552], and go down [03381] into the desert [06160], and go [0935] into the sea [03220]: which being brought forth [03318] into the sea [03220], the waters [04325] shall be healed [07495].
9 And it shall come to pass, that every thing [05315] that liveth [02416], which moveth [08317], whithersoever the rivers [05158] shall come [0935], shall live [02421]: and there shall be a very [03966] great [07227] multitude of fish [01710], because these waters [04325] shall come [0935] thither: for they shall be healed [07495]; and every thing shall live [02425] whither the river [05158] cometh [0935].
10 And it shall come to pass, that the fishers [01728] shall stand [05975] [05975] upon it from Engedi [05872] even unto Eneglaim [05882]; they shall be a place to spread forth [04894] nets [02764]; their fish [01710] shall be according to their kinds [04327], as the fish [01710] of the great [01419] sea [03220], exceeding [03966] many [07227].
11 But the miry places [01207] thereof and the marishes [01360] thereof shall not be healed [07495]; they shall be given [05414] to salt [04417].
12 And by the river [05158] upon the bank [08193] thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow [05927] all trees [06086] for meat [03978], whose leaf [05929] shall not fade [05034], neither shall the fruit [06529] thereof be consumed [08552]: it shall bring forth new fruit [01069] according to his months [02320], because their waters [04325] they issued out [03318] of the sanctuary [04720]: and the fruit [06529] thereof shall be for meat [03978], and the leaf [05929] thereof for medicine [08644].
6 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that the light [0216] shall not be clear [03368], nor dark [07087] [07087]:
18 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that the mountains [02022] shall drop down [05197] new wine [06071], and the hills [01389] shall flow [03212] with milk [02461], and all the rivers [0650] of Judah [03063] shall flow [03212] with waters [04325], and a fountain [04599] shall come forth [03318] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and shall water [08248] the valley [05158] of Shittim [07851].
21 For I will cleanse [05352] their blood [01818] that I have not cleansed [05352]: for the LORD [03068] dwelleth [07931] in Zion [06726].
20 But Judah [03063] shall dwell [03427] for ever [05769], and Jerusalem [03389] from generation [01755] to generation [01755].
19 Egypt [04714] shall be a desolation [08077], and Edom [0123] shall be a desolate [08077] wilderness [04057], for the violence [02555] against the children [01121] of Judah [03063], because they have shed [08210] innocent [05355] blood [01818] in their land [0776].
18 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that the mountains [02022] shall drop down [05197] new wine [06071], and the hills [01389] shall flow [03212] with milk [02461], and all the rivers [0650] of Judah [03063] shall flow [03212] with waters [04325], and a fountain [04599] shall come forth [03318] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and shall water [08248] the valley [05158] of Shittim [07851].
6 And thou, son [01121] of man [0120], be not afraid [03372] of them, neither be afraid [03372] of their words [01697], though briers [05621] and thorns [05544] be with thee, and thou dost dwell [03427] among scorpions [06137]: be not afraid [03372] of their words [01697], nor be dismayed [02865] at their looks [06440], though they be a rebellious [04805] house [01004].
1 And Joshua [03091] rose early [07925] in the morning [01242]; and they removed [05265] from Shittim [07851], and came [0935] to Jordan [03383], he and all the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and lodged [03885] there before they passed over [05674].
49 And they pitched [02583] by Jordan [03383], from Bethjesimoth [01020] even unto Abelshittim [063] in the plains [06160] of Moab [04124].
