Ezequiel 47:7 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 47:7

Now when I had returned
To the brink of the river: behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side,
and on the other;
here was a new wonder observed, which had not been before; and therefore this note of admiration, "behold!" is prefixed; on a sudden sprung up trees on each side of the river, of a perfect stature, and full of fruit; which the prophet had not seen when he went along with the man on the bank of it, as he measured the waters; but now being returned, sees this wonderful sight; an emblem of true Christians, believers, and regenerate persons, who are trees of righteousness, planted by the river of divine love; watered with the grace of God, and doctrines of the Gospel; whereby they become fruitful in good works, and are to be seen wherever the Gospel comes with power and efficacy; see ( Psalms 1:3 ) ( Isaiah 61:8 ) , or, "an exceeding large tree" ^F5; so John saw but one tree, which was on each side of the river, which he calls the tree of life, ( Revelation 22:2 ) , but here it seems to be put for many, as appears from ( Ezekiel 47:12 ) .

Ezequiel 47:7 In-Context

5 Mediu mais quinhentos, mas agora era um rio que eu não conseguia atravessar, porque a água havia aumentado e era tão profunda que só se podia atravessar a nado; era um rio que não se podia atravessar andando.

6 Ele me perguntou: “Filho do homem, você vê isto?”Levou-me então de volta à margem do rio.

7 Quando ali cheguei, vi muitas árvores em cada lado do rio.

8 Ele me disse: “Esta água flui na direção da região situada a leste e desce até a Arabá, onde entra no Mar. Quando deságua no Mar, a água ali é saneada.

9 Por onde passar o rio haverá todo tipo de animais e de peixes. Porque essa água flui para lá e saneia a água salgada; de modo que onde o rio fluir tudo viverá.
