Ezekiel 47:3 in Context — Ezekiel 47
1 Il me ramena vers la porte de la maison. Et voici, de l’eau sortait sous le seuil de la maison, à l’orient, car la face de la maison était à l’orient; l’eau descendait sous le côté droit de la maison, au midi de l’autel.
2 Il me conduisit par le chemin de la porte septentrionale, et il me fit faire le tour par dehors jusqu’à l’extérieur de la porte orientale. Et voici, l’eau coulait du côté droit.
3 Lorsque l’homme s’avança vers l’orient, il avait dans la main un cordeau, et il mesura mille coudées; il me fit traverser l’eau, et j’avais de l’eau jusqu’aux chevilles.
4 Il mesura encore mille coudées, et me fit traverser l’eau, et j’avais de l’eau jusqu’aux genoux. Il mesura encore mille coudées, et me fit traverser, et j’avais de l’eau jusqu’aux reins.
5 Il mesura encore mille coudées; c’était un torrent que je ne pouvais traverser, car l’eau était si profonde qu’il fallait y nager; c’était un torrent qu’on ne pouvait traverser.
