以西結書 29:9-12 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 29:9

The pride of creation. In the insanity of his pride, Pharaoh is supposed even to claim the mighty Nile, that great work of nature on which the wealth and even the very life of his people depended, as a creation of his own imperial power. Such a foolish boast illustrates in an extreme form the common mistake of claiming to create what has in fact been received as a gift of God. I. NOTE THE PREVALENCE OF THE PRIDE OF CREATION . This is seen with many kinds of success. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 29:10

From the tower of Syene , etc. The Authorized Version is misleading, as Syene was itself on the border of Ethiopia . Better, with the Revised Version margin, from Migdol to Syene, even to the border of Ethiopia . The Migdol (equivalent to "tower") so named is mentioned in the 'Itinerarium' of Antoninus, and was about twelve miles from Pelusium, and thus represented the northern extremity of Egypt; as Syene, identified with the modern Assouan, represented the southern, being the last... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 29:11

Neither shall it be inhabited forty years . It need hardly be said that history reveals no such period of devastation. Nor, indeed, would anything but the most prosaic literalism justify us in looking for it. We are dealing with the language of a poet-prophet, which is naturally that of hyperbole, and so the "forty years" stand, as, perhaps, elsewhere ( 3:11 ; 5:31 , etc.), for a period of undefined duration, and the picture of a land on which no man or beast sets foot for that of a time... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 29:12

I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations . As before, records are silent as to any such dispersion. All that we can say is that such a deportation was uniformly the sequel of the conquests of an Oriental king, as in the ease of the captivities of Samaria ( 2 Kings 17:6 ) and Jerusalem, and of the nations that were settled in Samaria ( 2 Kings 17:6 ), and of the Persians by Darius; that if we find reason to believe that Egypt was invaded by Nebuchadnezzar after the destruction of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 29:10-12

From the tower of Syene - Or, as in the margin, “Migdol” (“tower”) was about two miles from Suez. “Syene” was the most southern town in Egypt, on the borders of Ethiopia, in the Thebaid, on the eastern bank of the Nile. The modern Assvan lies a little to the northeast of the ancient Syene.We have no record of the circumstances of the Chaldsaean invasion of Egypt, but it is possible that it did not take place until after the fall of Tyre. We gather of what nature it must have been by comparing... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 29:8-9

Ezekiel 29:8-9. Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee This was fulfilled, first by the civil wars which broke out in Egypt, and next by the invasion of it by Nebuchadnezzar, who carried his victorious arms through the whole country, destroying wherever he came; and will cut off man and beast That is, destroy a vast number both of men and beasts. And the land of Egypt shall be desolate A great part of Egypt was, without doubt, laid waste and made desolate by the ravages of war. Because... read more

Ezekiel 29:10-12. Behold, I am against thee and thy rivers Since thou hast opposed me, I will set myself against thee, and bring down the strength and glory of thy kingdom, wherein thou magnifiest thyself so much. From the tower of Syene, even unto the border of Ethiopia If we follow this translation, we must understand the word Cush, rendered here Ethiopia, of Arabia, as it is often taken: see note on Jeremiah 13:23. For Syene was to the south of Egypt, under the tropic of Cancer, and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 29:1-16

Judgment on Egypt (29:1-16)At the time Ezekiel delivered this prophecy against Egypt, Jerusalem was besieged by the Babylonian armies (29:1; see 2 Kings 25:1-2). The Judean king Zedekiah depended upon Egyptian aid in rebelling against Babylon, but Ezekiel knows that to depend on Egypt is to invite defeat. By his condemnation of Egypt in this message, he shows how unacceptable any Judean-Egyptian alliance is in God’s sight (2; cf. 17:15-18; Jeremiah 37:6-10).In this very pictorial prophecy,... read more
