When the man went out toward the east with a line in his hand, he measured a thousand [a]cubits, and he led me through the water, water reaching the ankles. Again he measured a thousand and led me through the water, water reaching the knees. Again he measured a thousand and led me through the water, water reaching the [b]hips. Again he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not [c]wade across, because the water had risen, enough water to swim in, a (A)river that could not be crossed by wading.
