$$E(x) := \frac{x_1^2}{e_1^2} + \frac{x_2^2}{e_2^2} + \frac{x_3^2}{e_3^2} - 1 = 0$$
Let $y = \begin{bmatrix} y_1 & y_2 & y_3 \end{bmatrix}^T$ be a point outside the ellipsoid.
For any point $x = \begin{bmatrix} x_1 & x_2 & x_3 \end{bmatrix}^{T}$ on the ellipsoid we have\footnote{http://www.geometrictools.com/Documentation/DistancePointEllipseEllipsoid.pdf}:
$$y - x = \frac{1}{2} t \nabla
E(x) =
t \begin{bmatrix}
\frac{1}{e_1^2} && \\
& \frac{1}{e_2^2} & \\
&& \frac{1}{e_3^2}
\end{bmatrix} x
$$ E(x),$$
or
equivalently, equivalently in component form,
$$y_k = \left( 1 + \frac{t}{e_k^2} \right) x_k, \qquad k=1,2,3.$$
The values $x_k$ can be expressed as a function of $t$:
$$x_k(t):=\frac{e_k^2}{t+e_k^2} y_k, \qquad k=1,2,3$$
