However, the marshy areas along the banks will not be healed but will be designated for salt. Along the riverbanks, on both sides, every tree that bears fruit will flourish; its leaves will remain green, and its fruit will never diminish. Each month, it will produce new growth, for its waters will flow from the sanctuary, providing nourishment and medicinal properties through its leaves. I have chosen to present this lengthy passage as a whole to maintain the continuity of thought for the reader and prevent confusion from divided sections. It is noteworthy that the term used for "stream" in Hebrew, nehel, and in Greek, χειμαρρός, was translated as "river" in the Septuagint. Additionally, in references to Galilee, which is known as Galila in Hebrew, Aquila translated it to signify sandy hills, while Simmachus interpreted it as a neighboring region. Similarly, regarding Arabia, Simmachus referred to it as uninhabited, while Aquila expressed it as lowland or plain, and Theodotion simply called it Araba. It is appropriate to reflect on these details: the guide of Ezekiel encourages him to closely observe and discern the profound mysteries presented before him. He refers to Ezekiel as "son of man" either to align with the image of the Lord Savior or to remind him of human frailty, ensuring he remains humble as he witnesses these great revelations.
