10. En-gedi . . . En-eglaim —En-gedi (meaning "fountain of the kid"), anciently, Hazazon-Tamar, now Ain-Jidy; west of the Dead Sea; David's place of refuge from Saul. En-eglaim means "fountain of two calves," on the confines of Moab, over against En-gedi, and near where Jordan enters the Dead Sea ( Isaiah 15:8 ). These two limits are fixed on, to comprise between them the whole Dead Sea. fish . . . according to their kinds —JEROME quotes an ancient theory that "there are a hundred fifty-three kinds of fishes," all of which were taken by the apostles ( Isaiah 15:8- : ), and not one remained uncaptured; signifying that both the noble and baseborn, the rich and the poor, and every class, are being drawn out of the sea of the world to salvation. Compare Isaiah 15:8- : , the gospel net; the apostles being fishermen, at first literally, afterwards spiritually ( Isaiah 15:8- : ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-11" class="com-number"
