Vulgate

καθὼς ἔξοδος ἀνδρὸς ἐξ ἐναντίας. καὶ μέτρον ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ· καὶ διεμέτρησεν χιλίους ἐν τῷ μέτρῳ, καὶ διῆλθεν ἐν τῷ ὕδατι ὕδωρ ἀφέσεως·

LXX

When the man went forth eastward with the line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the ankles.
