Verse 9
9. rivers—in Hebrew, "two rivers." Hence Hebrew expositors think that the waters from the temple were divided into two branches, the one emptying itself into the eastern or Dead Sea, the other into the western or Mediterranean. So :-. However, though this probably is covertly implied in the Hebrew dual, the flowing of the waters into the Dead Sea only is expressed. Compare :-, "waters . . . healed," which can apply only to it, not to the Mediterranean: also :-, "fish as the fish of the great sea"; the Dead Sea, when healed, containing fish, as the Mediterranean does.
