Ezekiel 47:2 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Then brought he me out of the inmost court, where he saw the waters running under the threshold, and by the south side of the altar. The way of the gate northward: the east gate being shut, the prophet in this vision is led to the north gate, out of which he goeth into the next court, and so through them all, till he comes to the north gate of the outmost court. Led me about; caused him to go about from that gate to the east gate of the same court. The way without; not on the inside of the wall, but round on the outside of the wall, which will appear presently, and the reason why. The utter gate; the outmost north gate in the wall, that compassed the whole mountain of the Lord's house. The way that looketh eastward; when the prophet was come quite out of all the courts, and is on the outside of the last wall, he is turned from the north gate towards the east gate, and walks up to that gate. And, behold, there he found the watercourse. On the right side; that is, on the south side. See Ezekiel 47:1.

Ezekiel 47:2

2 Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
