En-eglaim

En-eglaim, meaning fountain of two calves, appears only once in Scripture, in Ezekiel 47:10, where the visionary river flowing eastward from the restored temple is said to bring life to waters from En-gedi to En-eglaim. Fishermen would stand along the Dead Sea shore from one spring to the other, indicating that the passage envisions a complete transformation of the salt sea into fresh, teeming waters.

The precise location of En-eglaim is uncertain. Some geographers place it near the northern end of the Dead Sea, on the east bank, in the vicinity of modern Ain Feshkha or a corresponding site opposite it. Others have proposed sites near the mouth of the Jordan. Its pairing with En-gedi—located on the western shore about midway along the sea—suggests it lay at the opposite end of the Dead Sea's inhabitable coastline, framing the entire shoreline as the site of future blessing. The name thus functions partly as a geographical marker for totality in Ezekiel's eschatological vision.
