וְעַל־הַנַּ֣חַל יַעֲלֶ֣ה עַל־שְׂפָת֣וֹ מִזֶּ֣ה ׀ וּמִזֶּ֣ה ׀ כָּל־עֵֽץ־מַ֠אֲכָל לֹא־יִבּ֨וֹל עָלֵ֜הוּ וְלֹֽא־יִתֹּ֣ם פִּרְי֗וֹ לָֽחֳדָשָׁיו֙ יְבַכֵּ֔ר כִּ֣י מֵימָ֔יו מִן־הַמִּקְדָּ֖שׁ הֵ֣מָּה יֽוֹצְאִ֑ים והיו [וְהָיָ֤ה] פִרְיוֹ֙ לְמַֽאֲכָ֔ל וְעָלֵ֖הוּ לִתְרוּפָֽה׃ (ס)
Di tepi sungai itu, di kedua sisi tepiannya, akan tumbuh segala macam pohon yang buahnya dapat dimakan. Daunnya tidak akan layu dan buahnya tidak akan habis; setiap bulan pohon-pohon itu akan menghasilkan buah yang baru masak, sebab airnya mengalir keluar dari Bait Suci. Buahnya akan menjadi makanan, dan daunnya menjadi obat.”
Tosefta Ta'anit
We ask for the rains until Nissan is over, as it says, "And rain will fall for you, the earlier and latter rains during the first [month] (Yoel 2);" [these are] the words of Rabbi Meir. And the Sages say,"Earlier rains [fall in] Marcheshvan, and latter rains [fall on] the first of Nissan (and so these dates are the timetable for prayers for rain). Rabbi Meir said to them, "Knowing that a tree makes fruit for twelve [months], and produce [grows] for six months; what have we found with trees, as it says [about it], "By its month (meaning halfway through the month), it will bear (Yechezkel 47)," so too produce, at its fifteenth day [its season ends]. Haven't you learnt, that earlier and latter rains [fall throughout] Nissan.
