En-Eglaim, a location on the shore of the Dead Sea in Ezekiel's restoration vision
En-Eglaim appears only in Ezekiel's prophetic vision of the renewed land. Located somewhere on the Dead Sea's shore, it marks one boundary point where fishermen would spread their nets in the transformed landscape. The name means 'spring of the two calves' or possibly 'spring of the two carts.' In Ezekiel 47, the prophet envisions life-giving waters flowing from the temple and healing the Dead Sea, making it teem with fish—a stunning reversal of that region's barren desolation.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A prophetic location mentioned in Ezekiel 47:10 as part of the restored, fruitful Dead Sea region. The Septuagint renders it as 'Enagaleim,' while modern translations consistently preserve the proper name form (English: 'En-Eglaim', Spanish: 'En-eglaim', French: 'Aïn-Églaïm'). Its pairing with En-Gedi in the vision creates two boundary markers for the fishing activity that will characterize the healed waters, symbolizing God's comprehensive restoration of creation. 1×
