6. And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen this? Then he led me and caused me to return to the bank of the river.
7. Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
8. Then he said to me, These waters pour out toward the eastern region and go down into the Arabah (the Jordan Valley) and on into the Dead Sea. And when they shall enter into the sea [the sea of putrid waters], the waters shall be healed and made fresh.
9. And wherever the double river shall go, every living creature which swarms shall live. And there shall be a very great number of fish, because these waters go there that [the waters of the sea] may be healed and made fresh; and everything shall live wherever the river goes.
