King James Version
“And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters to the ancles.”
Context
1Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south of the altar.
2Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
3And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters to the ancles.
4Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters to the loins.
5Afterward he measured a thousand; 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.
6And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.
