Contextual Overview
1 Then he brought me back unto the entrance of the house, and lo! waters coming forth from under the threshold of the house eastward, because the front of the house, was to the east, - and the waters, were coming down from beneath, from the right side of the house, on the south of the altar. 2 Then he brought me out by way of the north gate, and took me round by an outer way, unto an outer gate that which looketh eastward - and lo! waters trickling forth out of the right side. 3 When the man went forth with a measuring line in his hand, then measured he a thousand, by the cubit, and caused me to pass through the waters - waters reaching to the ankles. 4 Then measured he a thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters - waters reaching to the knees, - and again measured he a thousand, and caused me to pass through-waters reaching to the loins. 5 Then measured he a thousand - a river which I could not pass through - for the waters had risen-waters to swim in, la river, that could not be forded. 6 Then said he unto me Hast thou seen son of man? Then he took me along and caused me to return to the bank of the river. 7 When returned, then lo! by the hank of the river, trees very many, - on this side and on that side. S 8 And he said unto me these waters are going forth unto the region toward the east and shall go down unto the waste plain, a and shall eater the sea, unto the sea being led forth, then shall the waters be healed; 9 And it shall come to pass that every living soul that swarmeth whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live, and the fish shall become a very great multitude; for these waters have come thither, that they may be healed so shall everything live whithersoever the river cometh. 10 And it shall come to pass that there shall stand by it fishers, from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim, places for spreading out nets, shall they be, - after their kind, shall be their fish, like the fish of the great sea exceeding many.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he said unto me, son of man, hast thou seen this? c]. That is, the man that measured the waters said to the prophet, hast thou carefully observed all this from whence the waters flowed? from what small beginnings they rose, and gradually increased? how they first issued forth, as out of a vial and now, in the space of about two or three miles, are become a deep river, and impassable? it is right and profitable to observe the rise and progress of the Gospel; what a spread it has had in the world, and what it will have:
then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river; there to stand and observe the nature of the waters, and the course of them; the multitude of fish in them; and the trees which grew upon the banks of them; of all which some account is given in the following verses.
