mish.tach denotes a place described as available for nets on a devastated coastal site.

The two occurrences describe a place left available for nets after devastation: one is in the midst of the sea, and the other is a bare rock no longer to be rebuilt.

Senses in use

  1. A site left for nets after devastation · dominant

    Both occurrences use the masculine singular construct form in a clause about a ruined location. In Ezekiel 26:5 the APB renders the site as becoming "a spreading-place for nets in the midst of the sea"; in Ezekiel 26:14 it is a bare rock that will not be built again and is rendered "a spreading-place for nets."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "a spreading-place for nets" in both verses, adding "in the midst of the sea" in Ezekiel 26:5. This wording confirms the clause-level setting rather than isolating every contribution of the term.
