Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 47:10

"And it shall come to pass, that fishers shall stand by it: from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim shall be a place for the spreading of nets; their fish shall be after their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many." — Ezekiel 47:10 (ASV)

From En-gedi even to En-eglaim.— En-gedi, “the fountain of the goat,” is a well-known copious spring about midway on the western coast of the Dead Sea. En-eglaim occurs only here and has not been certainly identified. St. Jerome speaks of “Engallim” as at the junction of the Jordan with the sea, and near this point there is a fountain now known as Ain-el-Feshkhah.

Others consider that the dual form of the name indicates “one of the double cities of Moab,” thus placing it on the eastern side of the sea. This interpretation seems more probable, since the expression would then be equivalent to “the whole breadth of the sea.”

Everywhere they will stretch their nets, and the variety and abundance of the fish will be as great as in “the great sea,” that is, the Mediterranean. This whole verse in regard to the fishermen is a striking illustration of Ezekiel’s way of carrying out the most ideal description into detail.
