Afterward, he brought me again unto the door of the house; and behold, waters issued out of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar….Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in a river that could not be passed over. Ezekiel 47:1-5
