Ezekiel 47:9-10

47:9 Every living creature which swarms where the river ¹  flows will live; there will be many fish, for these waters flow there. It will become fresh ²  and everything will live where the river flows. 47:10 Fishermen will stand beside it; from Engedi to En-eglaim they will spread nets. They will catch many kinds of fish, like the fish of the Great Sea. ³ 

[47:9]  ¹ tn Heb “two rivers,” perhaps under the influence of Zech 14:8. The translation follows the LXX and other ancient versions in reading the singular, which is demanded by the context (see vv. 5-7, 9b, 12).

[47:9]  ² tn Heb “will be healed.”

[47:10]  ³ sn The Great Sea refers to the Mediterranean Sea (also in vv. 15, 19, 20).
