On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

And there is plainly a reference to this in St. John's vision of a pure river of water of life, Rev. xxii. That seems to represent the glory and joy which are grace perfected. This seems to represent the grace and joy which are glory begun.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The original of these waters was not above-ground, but they sprang up from under the threshold; for the fountain of a believer's life is a mystery; it is hid with Christ in God, Col. iii. Some observe that they came forth on the right side of the house to intimate that gospel-blessings are right-hand blessings.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Note, It is God that appoints the bounds of our habitation; and his Israel shall always have cause to say that the lines have fallen to them in pleasant places. The lake of Sodom is here called the east sea, for it, being healed by the waters of the sanctuary, it is no more to be called a salt sea, as it was in Numbers.
