Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: Eze 47:8

¹ tn Heb “the sea,” referring to the Dead Sea. This has been specified in the translation for clarity.

² tn Heb “to the sea, those which are brought out.” The reading makes no sense. The text is best emended to read “filthy” (i.e., stagnant). See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:273.

³ tn Heb “the waters become healed.”
