For ‘ , see the comm. on Eze 29:10<\/span>. The subject to is the ‘ . Eze 30:7<\/span> is almost a literal repetition of Eze 29:12<\/span>; and the subject to is regarded as a country, though the number and gender of the verb have both been regulated by the form of the noun. The fire which God will bring into Egypt (Eze 30:8<\/span>) is the fire of war. Eze 30:9<\/span>. The tidings of this judgment of God will be carried by messengers to Ethiopia, and there awaken the most terrible dread of a similar fate. In the first hemistich, the prophet has Isa 18:2<\/span> floating before his mind. The messengers, who carry the tidings thither, are not the warlike forces of Chaldea, who are sent thither by God; for they would not be content with performing the service of messengers alone. We have rather to think of Egyptians, who flee by ship to Ethiopia. The messengers go, , from before Jehovah, who is regarded as being present in Egypt, while executing judgment there (cf. Isa 19:1<\/span>). , as in Num 24:24<\/span> = (Dan 11:30<\/span>), ships, trieres<\/em>, according to the Rabbins, in Hieron. Symm<\/em>. on Isa 33:21<\/span>, and the Targum on Num. (cf. Ges.

Ewald and Hitzig follow the lxx in taking for ; but this is both incorrect and unsuitable, and reduces ‘ into a tame repetition of . The subject to is to be taken from the context, viz., that which is predicted in the preceding verses (Eze 30:6-8<\/span>).<\/p>\n (6) From the tower of Syene<\/strong>.From Migdol to Syene.

And they will be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities will be in the midst of the cities which are wasted. And they will know that I am Yahweh, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers are destroyed. In that day will messengers go forth from before me in ships to make the careless Cush afraid, and there will be anguish on them as in the day of Egypt. For lo, it comes.”<\/p>\n The message of gloom for Egypt continues. Their allies will also fall, and the ‘pride of their power’ (their powerful leadership or cities?) will come down, from northern border to southern border, smitten by the sword. All at the word of the Lord Yahweh. And their desolation will be shared by countries round about. It will be as though a fire has been lit in Egypt which will consume them and their allies. And when this happens all will know by experience that He is Yahweh, the One Who is what He wants to be.<\/p>\n Then Yahweh’s messengers (possibly referring to the Babylonians?) will go by ship up the Nile to Cush who thought they were safe, and they too will suffer anguish. These may be Yahweh’s messengers simply because they carry news of what Yahweh has done, or in the sense that troops are shipped with a ‘message’ of action and destruction.<\/p>\n We do not have external information on how far Nebuchadnezzar went in his invasion before, in the end, he accepted peace terms.

And they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers are destroyed; in that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid; and there shall be anguish upon them, as in the day of Egypt, for, lo, it cometh.”<\/p>\n DESTRUCTION TO INCLUDE <\/p>\n ALLIES AND DEPENDENTS<\/p>\n The meaning of this paragraph is stated both at the beginning and at the end of it. “They also that uphold Egypt shall fall.” “All her helpers are destroyed.” Fear and anguish are prophesied here as coming upon Egypt and all of her helpers.<\/p>\n They also: Job 9:13, Isa 20:3-6, Isa 31:3, Nah 3:9 <\/p>\n from the tower of Syene: or, from Migdol to Syene, Eze 29:10 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Lev 26:19 – will break Jer 48:14 – We Eze 30:8 – destroyed Eze 30:9 – messengers Eze 31:17 – that were Eze 33:28 – and the pomp Dan 5:20 – deposed<\/p>\n Verse 6. The remarks offered in the preceding verse are verified in this. It is expressly stated that they also that uphold Egypt shall fall. It is as bad in Gods sight to endorse an evildoer as it is to be the actual doer of it (Rom 1:32),<\/p>\n Eze 30:6-9. They also that uphold Egypt shall fall By this seems to be meant the governors of the several provinces, those who are called the stay of the tribes thereof, Isa 19:13; that is, of the several Nomi, or districts of Egypt. From the tower of Syene shall they fall This should rather be rendered, from Migdol to Syene. See note on Eze 29:10. When I have set a fire in Egypt When I shall have kindled up the flame of war in Egypt. Gods judgments are often compared to fire: see the margin. And when all her helpers shall be destroyed All her allies and auxiliaries. In that day shall messengers, &c. Houbigant translates this verse, In that day shall swift messengers go forth from me, who shall terrify the secure Ethiopian; and he shall have great fears concerning the day of Egypt, because it shall be nigh. He observes, that as the messengers are said to be sent to Cush, or Ethiopia, if the Arabians be meant, they were not to be gone by ships: if the Ethiopians, properly so called, to the south of Egypt, it was not proper for messengers to be sent to them in ships, because the navigation was against the stream, and could not be so quick as it ought upon an approaching calamity. Bishop Newcome, however, adopts our translation of the first clause, observing, that to send messengers up the Nile in ships was, if not so swift, yet a more secure way of communicating intelligence in a time of general commotion, than to send them by land. The Egyptians and Ethiopians being confederates, the ill news of the conquest of Egypt could not but greatly affect the Ethiopians.<\/p>\n 30:6 Thus saith the LORD; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of {b} Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.<\/p>\n (b) Which was a strong city of Egypt, Eze 29:10 .<\/p>\n The Lord announced again (Eze 30:6-9) that the nations that supported Egypt would fall with her. Egypt would suffer humiliation from north to south (cf. Eze 29:10) as the enemy slew many Egyptians.<\/p>\n Thus saith the LORD; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD. 6. the tower of Syene ] from Migdol to Syene; cf.
