KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 47 of 48

1 And He made me turn back to the opening of the house. And, behold, water came out from under the threshold of the house eastward. For the face of the house is east, and the water came down from under the right side of the house, at the south from the altar.

2 And He made me go out by way of the north gate, and by the way outside to the outer gate, by the way facing east. And, behold, water was dropping out of the right side.
