This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





That liveth; as fish, so this universal is to be limited. Which moveth in the waters; so in Gen_1:20 this kind of living creatures are described.



The rivers shall come; these rivers flow: by this it appears the Hebrew doctors have some ground for their interpreting the running of these waters in two channels.



Shall live; be preserved alive, or nourished, and thrive, whereas no fish can live in the Dead Sea, as all reports assure us, and to which this of the prophet alludeth.



A very great multitude of fish; before none, now innumerable fish here.



These waters; these temple waters, which have in them a healing virtue.



They shall be healed; the poisonous waters of the Dead Sea shall be made wholesome for fish.



Shall live; thrive and multiply in the virtue of the healing streams of this temple water. Thus enigmatically is the fruitfulness of the grace of God in the church set forth.
