Eneglaim

En-eglaim is a single-attestation place name on the shore of the Dead Sea, paired with En-gedi as the boundary points of a future fishery in Ezekiel's temple-river vision.

A Fishing Ground on the Dead Sea

The river that issues from the threshold of the visionary temple flows east, descends to the Arabah, and freshens the salt sea. Where the dead waters become alive, fishermen take their stand: "And it will come to pass, that fishers will stand by it: from En-gedi even to En-eglaim will be a place for the spreading of nets; their fish will be after their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceedingly many" (Eze 47:10).

The pairing brackets the western shore. En-gedi names the well-known oasis halfway down the coast; En-eglaim marks the other terminus of the netting ground. Together the two springs frame a stretch of formerly lifeless water that the river of the sanctuary has turned into a sea teeming with fish "after their kinds, as the fish of the great sea." The place receives no further mention in scripture; its sole role in the text is to mark how far the healing of the waters reaches.
