Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 47:6

"And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen [this]? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the bank of the river." — Ezekiel 47:6 (ASV)

To return to the brink.— The angel, having called the prophet’s attention to this marvelous increase, now causes him to return along the bank to observe other things. The word brink in this verse and bank in the next are the same in the original. The prophet does not return to the brink, for he had not left it, but is told to pass along it.
