Context of Ezekiel 47:10

8Then he said to me, “These waters go out toward the eastern region and go down into the Arabah; then they go toward the sea, being made to flow into the sea, and the waters of the sea become fresh. 9It will come about that every living creature which swarms in every place where the river goes, will live. And there will be very many fish, for these waters go there and the others become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes. And it will come about that fishermen will stand beside it; from Engedi to Eneglaim there will be a place for the spreading of nets. Their fish will be according to their kinds, like the fish of the Great Sea, very many. 11But its swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt. 12By the river on its bank, on one side and on the other, will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither and their fruit will not fail. They will bear every month because their water flows from the sanctuary, and their fruit will be for food 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
