Ezekiel 47:10-11

Ezekiel 47:10-11

[10] And it shall come to pass, that the fishers  shall stand  upon it from Engedi  even unto Eneglaim;  they shall be a place to spread forth  nets;  their fish  shall be according to their kinds,  as the fish  of the great  sea,  exceeding  many.  [11] But the miry places  thereof and the marishes  thereof shall not be healed;  they shall be given  to salt. 

What does Ezekiel 47:10-11 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

The Dead Sea would become so full of many varieties of fish that fishermen would fish for them from Engedi, on the west side of the sea about midway north to south, to Eneglaim, possibly on the northwest shore near Qumran or on the eastern side. The entire Dead Sea region would not become fresh, however; the swamps and marshes would remain saline, perhaps to provide salt and or other minerals for the people.
