Ezekiel 47:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 47:9

7 When I returned, there, along the bank of the river, were very many ^atrees on one side and the other.

8 Then he said to me: “This water flows toward the eastern region, goes down into the¹ valley, and enters the sea. When it reaches the sea, its waters are healed.

9 And it shall be that every living thing that moves, wherever¹ the rivers go, will live. There will be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters go there; for they will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river goes.

10 It shall be that fishermen will stand by it from En Gedi to En Eglaim; they will be places for spreading their nets. Their fish will be of the same kinds as the fish ^aof the Great Sea, exceedingly many.

11 But its swamps and marshes will not be healed; they will be given over to salt.

12 ^aAlong the bank of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food; ^btheir leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for ^cmedicine.”
