This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The fishers; men whose trade is to fish for livelihood and profit.
Shall stand; shall dispose of themselves about these waters; either on the shore along the river-side, or in boats on the sea, to take the fish.
Upon it; the sea, whose waters healed become fruitful.
From En-gedi; which lay on the south-west of the lake of Sodom, so near, that it is reported there are the trees which bring forth fruit beautiful to the eye, but touched with the hand fall into ashes; yet on those parts more remote from this sea, En-gedi affords excellent vines, Son_1:14, or gardens of balsam trees.
Unto En-eglaim; a city on the north-east of the Dead Sea, near which place Jordan runs into it, and they say it is a boundary town of Moab. Others will have it no proper, but a common name, and signifying the confluence of waters in any place; if so, it will be likeliest to be understood of that part of the Red Sea where Jordan and two lesser rivers run into it, at the north and north-east end of this sea.
A place to spread forth nets, all along on the west side of this sea, to dry them and fit them again.
According to their kinds; of all sorts.
As the fish of the great sea; for number, growth, and goodness for use.
Exceeding many, or great, of exceeding great bigness in their several kinds. All this is mystical, and fulfilled since Christ hath made his ministers, as he made his apostles, fishers of men.
