Commentary on Ezekiel 47:19

Theological / Devotional

Tamar. This place has not been definitely identified. It was probably near the southern end of the Dead Sea.

Kadesh. Called Kadesh-bamea in Num. 34:4. Some have identified it with ‘Ain Qudeirat, about 73 mi. (116.8 km.), southwest of Hebron, others with ‘Ain Qedeis, 5.3 mi. (8.5 km.) farther southeast.

The river. A comparison with Num. 34:5; Joshua 15:4, 47 shows that the reference is to the “river of Egypt,” identified with the modern torrent Wadi el-‘Arish, which enters the Mediterranean about 50 mi. southwest of Gaza.
