EZEKIEL 47:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.”
And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food; their leaves will not wither and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary; and their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing'—describing the vegetation sustained by the river's waters. The unfailing fruit bearing suggests abundance and continuous provision. The monthly fruiting indicates supernatural fertility. The use of leaves for healing emphasizes medicinal value and restoration. This verse depicts the abundant vegetation.
