Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 47:1

1 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.

After that the Temple was measured▪ and the ordinances of it were setled, and what pertained to Prince and people assign'd, &c.

The Angel, or the Spirit of God, chap. 1.3. and 3.22.

The Temple it self.

Some do observe, that there were Aquaeducts laid under ground, which from some Fountain were convey'd to cleanse and purge away the blood of Sacrifices poured forth, and the excrements of the slain beasts, of which some would remain after greatest care, however they would need much water about their Temple services, and this was conveyed in pipes from the Fountain Et[illegible: 1 letter]m as Dr. Lightfoot observes from their Rabbins, and from Arist us an eyewitness; these gave occasion or ground of this vision.

The Fountain lay to the West, the Conduit pipes were laid to bring the water to the Temple, and so must run Eastward, and perhaps, one main pipe might be laid under the East Gate of the Temple.

On the South side of the Temple, for so the South is to a man, whose face looketh toward the East.

Towards the South side of the Altar, for so it seems they were convey'd to run, till they came to the Altar, and were convey'd by the right side of it, into a room they called the well room. The spiritual meaning I refer to the private meditations of Christians; thus far of the Aquaeducts.
