And the water was flowing down from under, from the right side of the house, from south of the altar. <span class="reftext"><a href="/ezekiel/47-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>Then he brought me out by way of the north gate and led me around on the outside to the outer gate by the way of <i>the gate</i> that faces east.
