에스겔 30:2-19 KRV

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:6

They that uphold Egypt . The words include the allies named in Ezekiel 30:5 ; but also embrace the rulers, generals, perhaps the idols, of Egypt itself. From the tower of Syene . As before, in Ezekiel 29:10 , "from Migdol to Syene." read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:7

Desolation. Egypt is to be desolate in the midst of countries that are desolate, and her cities laid waste in the midst of other ruined cities. A picture of widespread and general desolation. I. THERE IS A DESOLATION OF LANDS AND CITIES . Having lived free from the ravages of an invader ever since the Norman conquest, we find it impossible to imagine the agonies of war among the people who suffer from them. The excitement of battle may drown those horrors for a season.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:9

In that day shall messengers , etc. The whole passage seems an echo of Isaiah 18:2 . The ships are those that bear the tidings of the conquest of Lower Egypt to the upper valley of the Nile. The careless Ethiopians are so named as confiding in their remoteness from the scene of action. They thought themselves safe, and were lulled into a false security (comp. Isaiah 32:9-11 and Zephaniah 2:15 , for a like rendering of the verb). As in the day of Egypt. As Isaiah ( Isaiah 9:4 )... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:9

The careless Ethiopians. These people who were heedless of the coming danger that threatened them in common with great Egypt may serve as a type of the careless generally. I. THE PREVALENCE OF CARELESSNESS . These "careless Ethiopians" are not rare specimens of an obscure class. We have not to go to Africa, nor to antiquity, for the like of them. The genus to which they belong is far from extinct even in this age of anxiety and energy. Note the various forms which carelessness... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:10-11

By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar . Hitherto (on the assumption that Ezekiel 29:17-21 stands by itself, and that we are still in the prophetic message of Ezekiel 29:1-16 ) the predictions have been general. Now Ezekiel, following in the footsteps of Jeremiah ( Ezekiel 46:1-24 .), specifies the Chaldean king and his people, the terrible of the nations (as in Ezekiel 28:7 ; Ezekiel 31:12 , et al .), as those who were to execute the Divine judgments. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:12

I will make the rivers dry . The rivers are the Nile-blanches of the Delta, and their being dried up points, perhaps, literally to a failure in the inundation of the Nile on which its fertility depended; figuratively to a like failure of all its sources of prosperity. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:13

Noph , or, as in Hosea 9:6 , Moph, is a form of the Egyptian M'noph, the reek Memphis (so in the LXX .), the capital of Lower Egypt, the chief center of the worship of Phthah, whom the Greeks identified with Hephaestos. Hence the special mention of the idols and images . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:13

Destroying idols. Egypt was a land of innumerable idols. In the general desolation that was approaching, not only would these idols prove themselves useless protectors, they themselves would share the fate of their patrons. The idols are destroyed in the ruin of the idolaters. I. THERE IS NO DEFENSE IN IDOLS . This is a lesson for the heathen. But not only pagans who worship images of wood and stone need to learn it; men who despise the superstitions of heathendom have... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:13

Idols destroyed. It is well known, from the records of ancient history, and from the explorations and studies of Egyptologists of our own century, that the land of the Pharaohs was the seat of idolatry of the most deeply rooted, widespread, and at the same time most debasing and contemptible kind. It was not possible that the prophet of the Lord, in rebuking Egypt, should confine himself to the region of polities; he could not but deal with the religion and the religious practices which... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:14

(For Pathros , see note on Ezekiel 29:14 .) Zoan—joined with Noph in Isaiah 19:11 , mentioned in Numbers 13:22 as older than Hebron—is the Tanis of the Greeks, situated on the Tanitic branch of the Delta of the Nile. No ; or, as in Nahum 3:8 , No Amon (equivalent to "the abode of Ammen"), the sacred name of the Egyptian Thebes. The LXX . gives Diospolis; the Vulgate, by a curious anachronism, Alexandria. read more
