Ankle
Eze 47:3 (b) The river in this passage is a type of the Holy Spirit, and the ankles represent the walk of the child of GOD. As the Holy Spirit enters the life of the believer his walk is changed. No longer does he travel in the ways of the world, but rather he is led to the house of GOD, and led to walk among the people of GOD. This is one of the first proofs that a man has contacted the Lord JESUS in faith, been cleansed by the blood of the Lamb, and has become influenced by the Holy Spirit who is the Living Water.
