Ezekiel 47:8

Context
47:8 He said to me, “These waters go out toward the eastern region and flow down into the Arabah; when they enter the Dead Sea, 1  where the sea is stagnant, 2  the waters become fresh. 3 

1 tn Heb “the sea,” referring to the Dead Sea. This has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn Heb “to the sea, those which are brought out.” The reading makes no sense. The text is best emended to read “filthy” (i.e., stagnant). See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:273.

3 tn Heb “the waters become healed.”
