מִשְׁקָע H4950
settled, clear water; that which has been allowed to settle and clarify
Ezekiel employs this term in his oracle against Israel's shepherds. While the leaders drink clear, settled water, they trample and muddy what remains for the flock. The word emphasizes water that has been allowed to settle, becoming clear and pure—the best water, reserved for the powerful while the people get what's left over, muddied and fouled. It's part of the prophet's indictment of exploitative leadership that takes the best for itself and leaves the poor with spoiled remnants.

1. sense 1 — Clear, settled water that has been allowed to clarify, mentioned in Ezekiel 34:18 in the context of Israel's shepherds drinking the best water while trampling what remains. The term derives from a root meaning to settle or sink down, so this is water where sediment has settled to the bottom, leaving the top clear and pure. The phrase 'the clear water you drink' contrasts with the muddied water left for the sheep, illustrating exploitation and inequity. Spanish 'aguas quietas' (still waters) captures the sense of water allowed to rest and become clear, the choicest water that the leaders reserve for themselves. 1×
