Ezechiele 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 ) .

Ezechiele 47:7 In-Context

5 E ne misurò altri mille: era un torrente che io non potevo attraversare, perché le acque erano ingrossate; erano acque che bisognava attraversare a nuoto: un torrente, che non si poteva guadare.
6 Ed egli mi disse: "Hai visto, figliuol d’uomo?" e mi ricondusse sulla riva del torrente.
7 Tornato che vi fu, ecco che sulla riva del torrente c’erano moltissimi alberi, da un lato all’altro.
8 Ed egli mi disse: "Queste acque si dirigono verso la regione orientale, scenderanno nella pianura ed entreranno nel mare; e quando saranno entrate nel mare, le acque del mare saran rese sane.
9 E avverrà che ogni essere vivente che si muove, dovunque giungerà il torrente ingrossato, vivrà, e ci sarà grande abbondanza di pesce; poiché queste acque entreranno là, quelle del mare saranno risanate, e tutto vivrà dovunque arriverà il torrente.
