Psalms 73:15

Verse 15. Ethan rivers. That is, rivers which run with strong streams. This was verified in the Jordan. Joshua 3 and in the Arnon. Numbers 21:14. Challoner.—Though the latter point is not so clear, God might divide the torrents, or rivers, at the station Ethan, as the Septuagint here read. Bert.—Habacuc (3:9) speaks of rivers. But in poetry, the plural is often used for the singular, and the passage of the Jordan may be meant. Calmet.—God had frequently supplied water from the rock, and gave a passage on dry land, through that river. Menochius. Worthington.—Ethan means, “rapid,” as the Jordan does also. Bible.
