⁸ The man said to me, “This water will flow toward the eastern areas and go down into the ·Jordan Valley [^LArabah]. When it enters the ·Dead Sea [^LSea], it will ·become fresh [^Lbe healed; ^Cthe Dead Sea has no fish or other living creatures due to its high mineral content]. ⁹ Everywhere the river goes, there will be many fish. Wherever this water goes the ·Dead Sea [^LSea] will become fresh, and so where the river goes there will be ·many [swarms of] living things. ¹⁰ Fishermen will stand by ·the Dead Sea [^Lit]. From En Gedi [^Cmidway along the western side of the Dead Sea] all the way to En Eglaim [^Can unknown location, perhaps on the east bank of the Dead Sea] there will be places to spread fishing nets. There will be many kinds of fish there, as many as in the ·Mediterranean [^LGreat] Sea.
