What Does Joshua 15:62 Mean?
This wilderness cluster closes with Nibshan, the City of Salt, and En-gedi, counted as six cities with their villages. En-gedi, a spring of fresh water by the Dead Sea, was an oasis of green amid the desert, and there David would later spare Saul's life in a cave.
In the midst of a salt and barren land, En-gedi flowed with living water, and there mercy was shown. So the Lord sets springs of grace in the driest places of life. Even the wilderness portions of the inheritance bore the marks of His refreshing care.
Joshua 15:62 in the Original Language
En-gedi (עֵין גֶּדִי), 'spring of the kid' -- a freshwater oasis by the Dead Sea, a place of life amid the desert.
