“He said to me.
‘This water flows
Toward the eastern region.
It goes down
Into the Arabah.
When it enters
The sea,
The sea of stagnant waters,
The water will
Become fresh.
Wherever the river goes
Every living creature
That swarms
Will live.
There will be
Very many fish,
Once these waters
Reach there.
It will become fresh.
Everything will live
Where the river goes.’”
This mysterious water from the Temple flowed east to the Arabah, the southern area between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba. When this fresh water from the Temple flowed into the Dead Sea, or the stagnant waters, the waters there would become fresh. Many fish and other swarming creatures would live there. Wherever this river flowed, everything would come alive. These were the living waters for all the sea creatures.
