Ezekiel 47:5 in Context — Ezekiel 47

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.

6 Il me dit: As-tu vu, fils de l’homme? Et il me ramena au bord du torrent.

7 Quand il m’eut ramené, voici, il y avait sur le bord du torrent beaucoup d’arbres de chaque côté.
