Komentaryong Sumisipi para sa Ezekiel 47:10

to swim (לִשְׂחוֹת) to float, as: (Ezekiel 47:5) “Water fit to swim in (מֵי שָׂחוּ).”

"Fruit trees that make fruit according to its specie:" All the commentators that I have seen explained that "according to its species" refers back to "that make fruit," but the author of the cantillation marks saw better than all of them, and connected "according to its species" with "fruit trees. And [hence] "that make fruit" is a parenthetical statement, as it is only an additional explanation about the fruit trees. And the word, lemino (according to its specie) and lemineihu (according to its species) is a poetic phrase of the Holy language and its sense is, of many types, of all the types that there are; as in "all of the raven of all of its type,... and the hawk of all of its types,... the heron of all of its type,... and the locust of all of its type;" (Leviticus 11:15-22), the sense of which is the raven and the hawk, etc. of all the types that there are. And so [too] below (verse 21), "and all of the crawling living souls that the waters swarmed of their types and all flying fowl of its types;" and so [too] (verse 24) "and let the earth bring forth living souls of their type, beasts and crawling animals and wild animals of the land, of their types;" and so [too] (Genesis 6:20) "From the fowl of their types and from the beasts of their type, from all that crawl upon the earth of its types." 'And the father of all of them' (the clearest example) is (Ezekiel 47:10) "of its type will be their fish, like the fish of the Great Sea, very many;" the intention being that the fish will be numerous and will be of all the types, and so [too is it expalined] in the Talmud Yerushalmi Shekalim 6:2, "'of its type will be their fish;' types of types will be their fish." I wrote this explanation in the year 5596 in my book Prolegomeni, page 191; and at the end of ten years, I acquired the book, Harecasim Lebikaah, and I found that he also explains it thus (and see below 13:3).
