16
Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof
shall be his sons’; it
shall be
their possession by inheritance.
17
But if he give a gift of his inheritance
to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty; after it shall return to the prince:
but his inheritance shall be his sons’ for them.
18
Moreover the prince shall not take of the people’s
inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession;
but
he shall give his sons inheritance
out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered every man from his possession.
19
After he brought me through the entry, which
was
at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers
of the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there
was
a place on the two sides
westward.
20
Then said he unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering
and the sin offering, where they shall bake the meat offering; that they bear
them
not out into the
utter court, to sanctify the people.
21
Then he brought me forth into the utter court, and caused me
to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the court
there was
a court.
22
In the four corners of the court
there were
courts joined of forty
cubits
long and thirty broad:
these four corners
were
of one measure.
23
And
there was
a row
of building
round about in them,
round about them four, and
it was
made with boiling places under the rows round about.
24
Then
said he unto me, These
are
the places of them that boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil
the sacrifice of the people.
CHAPTER 47
Afterward 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.
2
Then 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.
3
And 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 ancles.
4
Again 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.
5
Afterward 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.
6
And 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.
7
Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river
were
very many trees on the one side and on the other.
8
Then 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.
9
And 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
