Ezekiel 47:6-12
Summary for Ezek 47:6-9: 47:6-9 a The river grew as it went, bringing life to everything it touched, even the salty waters of the Dead Sea.47:10 b From En-gedi, a town on the west side of the Dead Sea, to En-eglaim, a town on the east side, the Dead Sea would be brought from death to life. This water, so full of salt and other minerals that it is devoid of life, would teem with enough fish to support a major fishing industry.
47:11 c The useful salt deposits previously gathered from the Dead Sea area would not be lost—the marshes and swamps would still be salty.
47:12 d Alongside this river of life, fruit trees of all kinds will grow. Like the righteous of Ps 1 e, their leaves will not wither, and they will bear their fruit in season. They will be so full of life that they will bear a new crop every month, and the leaves will be medicinal. The river’s fertility brings concrete blessings to all of God’s people. Wherever the waters of this river flow, there will be life.
