מים יוצאים
O rio do Templo
וַיְשִׁבֵנִי אֶל־פֶּתַח הַבַּיִת וְהִנֵּה־מַיִם יֹצְאִים מִתַּחַת מִפְתַּן הַבַּיִת קָדִימָה כִּי־פְנֵי הַבַּיִת קָדִים וְהַמַּיִם יֹרְדִים מִתַּחַת מִכֶּתֶף הַבַּיִת הַיְמָנִית מִנֶּגֶב לַמִּזְבֵּחַ׃
And he brought me back 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 looked toward the east; and the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, on the south of the altar.
A cada mil côvados, mais fundo
Role e entre na água com o profeta.
1000 côvados a leste
Até os tornozelos
When the man went forth eastward with the line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the ankles.
Ezequiel 47:3, JPS 1917
2000 côvados a leste
Até os joelhos
Again he measured a thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the knees.
Ezequiel 47:4, JPS 1917
3000 côvados a leste
Até os lombos
Again he measured a thousand, and caused me to pass through waters that were to the loins.
Ezequiel 47:4, JPS 1917
4000 côvados a leste
Um rio para nadar
Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass through; for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed through.
Ezequiel 47:5, JPS 1917
Por onde flui, vida
A água chega ao Mar Morto e o cura. Os peixes voltam. Árvores margeiam ambas as margens, dando fruto novo todo mês, suas folhas para cura, «porque as suas águas saem do santuário».
וְעַל־הַנַּחַל יַעֲלֶה עַל־שְׂפָתוֹ מִזֶּה וּמִזֶּה כָּל־עֵץ־מַאֲכָל לֹא־יִבּוֹל עָלֵהוּ וְלֹא־יִתֹּם פִּרְיוֹ לָחֳדָשָׁיו יְבַכֵּר כִּי מֵימָיו מִן־הַמִּקְדָּשׁ הֵמָּה יוֹצְאִים והיו [וְהָיָה] פִרְיוֹ לְמַאֲכָל וְעָלֵהוּ לִתְרוּפָה׃
And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow every tree for food, whose leaf shall not wither, neither shall the fruit thereof fail; it shall bring forth new fruit every month, because the waters thereof issue out of the sanctuary; and the fruit thereof shall be for food, and the leaf thereof for healing.’ .
Águas vivas
Zacarias vê águas vivas saindo de Jerusalém, metade para o mar oriental e metade para o ocidental, no verão e no inverno.
Água sobre o altar
A única água derramada sobre o altar em todo o ano era em Sucot, tirada da fonte de Siloé. Os leitores há muito ligam a água da festa a esta visão; a ligação é interpretativa.
