New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 Along each bank of the river every kind of fruit tree will grow; their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fresh fruit because the waters of the river flow out from the sanctuary. Their fruit is used for food, and their leaves for healing.”(A)

Boundaries of the Land.[a] 13 Thus says the Lord God: These are the boundaries of the land which you shall apportion among the twelve tribes of Israel, with Joseph having two portions.(B) 14 You shall apportion it equally because I swore to give it to your ancestors as a heritage; this land, then, is your heritage.(C)
