 6  The virtue of them.
13  The borders of the land.
22  The division of it by lot.

VERSE 1
- the door.
   * Eze 41:2,23-26
- waters issued.
  Solomon's temple and the second temple were doubtless well
  supplied with water, probably conveyed there by means of
  pipes; but these waters flowed from the temple, not as a
  common sewer, but as a fertilizing river.  A fountain
  producing abundance of water was not in the temple, and could
  not be there on the top of such a hill; and consequently
  these waters, as well as those spoken of by Joel and
  Zechariah, must be understood figuratively and typically.
  These waters doubtless were an emblem of the "gospel preached
  with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven;" and their gradual
  rise beautifully represents it progress, from small
  beginnings to an immensely large increase; and the latter
  part of the representation may relate to the times when it
  shall fill the earth, and produce the most extensive and
  important effects on the state of making in every nation.

VERSE 17 
 - the border from.
  The Holy Land, as here described, extended from about 31° to
  35° N. lat. and from 34° to 37° E. long.; being bounded on
  the north by a line drawn from the Mediterranean to Hamath;
  on the east by Damascus, Hauran, Gilead, and the land of
  Israel east of Jordan, unto the south of the Dead sea; on the
  south by Tamar and Kadesh, unto the river of Rhinocorura; and
  on the west by the Mediterranean sea, from the same point
  northward "till a man came over against Hamath;" and its
  length from north to south would be about 280 miles, and its
  breadth about 150 miles.  The ten tribes, as well as Judah
  and Benjamin, were to be admitted to a full share in this
  inheritance, which seems to imply, that the future
  restoration to the promised land is predicted; while the
  admission of strangers who sojourned in the land to a share
  in the inheritance, as if native Israelites, plainly
  intimates the calling of the Gentiles into the church, and
  their joint inheritance of its privileges, and of the
  heavenly felicity.
