“Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.”
Then he brought me back to the entrance of the house; and behold, water was flowing from under the threshold of the house toward the east, for the house faced east; and the water was flowing down on the right side of the house, south of the altar—introducing a vision of water flowing from the temple, a river originating from the sanctuary's foundation. The eastward flow suggests both the temple's orientation and the cosmic significance of east. The southward direction (right side of the house facing east) establishes the river's path. This verse introduces the life-giving river from the temple.
