Ezekiel 47:3-5

International Standard Version

³ As the man went out toward the east, he carried a measuring line in his hand. He measured out 1,000 cubits^[a] as he led me through water that was ankle-deep. ⁴ Then he measured out another 1,000 cubits,^[b] where he led me through water that was knee-deep. And then he measured out another 1,000 cubits,^[c] where the water was waist-deep. ⁵ When he had measured out another 1,000 cubits,^[d] the water had become deep enough that I wasn’t able to ford it. Instead, I would have had to swim through it.
