Context of Ezekiel 47:10

8He said to me, “This water flows out to the eastern region and goes down to the Arabah. When it enters the sea, the sea of foul water, the water of the sea becomes fresh. 9Every kind of living creature that swarms will live wherever the river flows, and there will be a huge number of fish because this water goes there. Since the water will become fresh, there will be life everywhere the river goes. Fishermen will stand beside it from En-gedi to En-eglaim. These will become places where nets are spread out to dry. Their fish will consist of many different kinds, like the fish of the Mediterranean Sea. 11Yet its swamps and marshes will not be healed; they will be left for salt. 12All kinds of trees providing food will grow along both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. Each month they will bear fresh fruit because the water comes from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be used for eating and their leaves for healing.”

Commentaries on Ezekiel 47:10

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10The fishers shall stand upon it - On the above plan of interpretation these must mean - The apostles of our Lord Jesus. The preachers of the everlasting Gospel. See Matthew 4:19. From En-gedi - At the southern extremity of the Dead Sea. Unto En-eglaim - At the northern extremity of the same. Their fish shall be according to their kinds - Every kind of fish, and the fish all excellent of their kinds. All nations, and kindreds, and people shall be called by…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10“En-gedi” (see 1 Samuel 23:29) was about the middle of the western shore of the Dead Sea. En-eglaim does not occur elsewhere. Its form indicates that it was one of the double cities of Moab (see Ezekiel 25:9 note). It has been identified with “Ain-el-Feshkah” to the north on the western bank of the Dead Sea. On this supposition, “from En-eglaim to En-gedi” would be the line of coast from the most northern fountain to the principal fountain southward.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10From En-gedi on the west side of the Dead Sea to En-eglaim on the east side, the Dead Sea would change from death to life. The Dead Sea is filled with salt and other minerals. Because of this, nothing can live in it. In Ezekiel’s vision, the river would make its waters fresh. The sea would be filled with many kinds of fish. There would be enough fish to support a large fishing industry.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1010. En-gedi ... En-eglaim--En-gedi (meaning "fountain of the kid"), anciently, Hazazon-Tamar, now Ain-Jidy; west of the Dead Sea; David's place of refuge from Saul. En-eglaim means "fountain of two calves," on the confines of Moab, over against En-gedi, and near where Jordan enters the Dead Sea (Is 15:8). These two limits are fixed on, to comprise between them the whole Dead Sea. fish ... according to their kinds--Jerome quotes an ancient theory that…Read the comment
