Exegesis
The verse opens with the spatial prepositional phrase en mesō tēs plateías autēs {ἐν μέσῳ τῆς πλατείας αὐτῆς | en mésō tês plateías autês} “in the middle of its broad avenue,” immediately followed by the parallel location kai tou potamoû enteúthen kai ekeîthen {καὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ ἐντεῦθεν καὶ ἐκεῖθεν | kaí toû potamoû en-teû-then kaí e-keî-then} “and along the river on both sides,” which together establish a comprehensive setting.
In context — Revelation 22:2
In the center of its broad avenue and along the river on both sides stood the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, producing its fruit month by month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations .
