Ezekiel 47 is the forty-seventh chapter of the Book of Ezekiel in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.[1][2]
This book contains the prophecies attributed to the prophet/priest Ezekiel,[3] and is one of the Books of the Prophets.[4][5] The final section of Ezekiel, chapters 40-48, gives the ideal picture of a new temple. The Jerusalem Bible refers to this section as "the Torah of Ezekiel".[6]
This chapter contains Ezekiel's vision of the holy waters (Ezekiel 47:1-5) and their virtue (verses 6–12), the borders of the land (verses 13–21) and the division of the land by lot (verses 22–23).[7] The vision was given on the 25th anniversary of Ezekiel's exile, "April 28, 573 BCE";[8] 14 years after the fall of Jerusalem and 12 years after the last messages of hope in chapter 39.[9]
