    Abstract

    This paper approaches the pericope of the temple stream (Ezekiel 47:1-12) with a variety of methods, from historical-critical to reader-oriented. All these approaches can contribute to the exegesis, although some tend to divert to details that, however interesting, obscure the focus on the whole of the text. Moreover, the theological weight of this passage as the counterpart of Ezekiel 43:1-9, the return of the kabod, glory, of the Lord to the temple, is not always recognized.
    The author concludes that this literally ‘streaming’ story is in rather sharp contrast with the surrounding stern texts, that mainly deal with buildings, who may enter them, when and why. The image of the temple river speaks of nature, fertility and growth, thereby supplementing and perhaps correcting the stringent message of most texts in Ezekiel 40-48.
