New Living Translation (NLT)

Ezekiel 46
²¹ Then he brought me back to the outer courtyard and led me to each of its four corners. In each corner I saw an enclosure.
²² Each of these enclosures was 70 feet long and 521/2 feet wide, surrounded by walls.
²³ Along the inside of these walls was a ledge of stone with fireplaces under the ledge all the way around.
²⁴ The man said to me, “These are the kitchens to be used by the Temple assistants to boil the sacrifices offered by the people.”
Ezekiel 47
¹ In my vision, the man brought me back to the entrance of the Temple. There I saw a stream flowing east from beneath the door of the Temple and passing to the right of the altar on its south side.
² The man brought me outside the wall through the north gateway and led me around to the eastern entrance. There I could see the water flowing out through the south side of the east gateway.
³ Measuring as he went, he took me along the stream for 1,750 feet and then led me across. The water was up to my ankles.
⁴ He measured off another 1,750 feet and led me across again. This time the water was up to my knees. After another 1,750 feet, it was up to my waist.
⁵ Then he measured another 1,750 feet, and the river was too deep to walk across. It was deep enough to swim in, but too deep to walk through.
⁶ He asked me, “Have you been watching, son of man?” Then he led me back along the riverbank.
⁷ When I returned, I was surprised by the sight of many trees growing on both sides of the river.
