Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 30:1-19

The prophecy of the destruction of Egypt is here very full and particular, as well as, in the general, very frightful. What can protect a provoking people when the righteous God comes forth to contend with them? I. It shall be a very lamentable destruction, and such as shall occasion great sorrow (Ezek. 30:2, 3): ?Howl you; you may justly shriek now that it is coming, for you will be made to shriek and make hideous outcries when it comes. Cry out, Woe worth the day! or, Ah the day! alas... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 30:15

And I will pour out my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt ,.... Either the city Sais, as the Septuagint and Arabic versions; or rather Pelusium, as the Vulgate Latin version, so called from "pelos" which signifies "clay" in the Greek language; and the same "Sin" signifies in the Chaldee, Psalm 18:43 , and as now called Tineh, from טין , "clay": it had a very fine haven, and may be called the strength of Egypt, it lying at the entrance of it; and having a strong fortified tower, it was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:1-19

The Lord's day in Egypt. The Lord's day is the day in which God comes nearest to men and manifests himself. Whether he will come as our Friend or as our Foe depends on our state of mind towards him. He has not abandoned the race of men. They are on trial, undergoing discipline. Now and again he comes near, either in his radiant robes of grace or in solemn aspect as an impartial Judge. Even when he approaches nations in the latter character, he gives premonitions of his coming, and this is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 30:15-16

Sin . The name signifies "mire," like the Greek Pelusium (so the Vulgate), from πήλος . The modern name Pheromi has the same meaning. The remains of an old fortress near the town are still known as Tineh, the "clay" of Daniel 2:41 . The fortress stood on the eastern branch of the Nile, surrounded by swamps, and its position made it, in modern phrase, the "key" of Egypt. Suidas and Strabo ( ut supra ) describe it as an obstacle to invaders from the East. Ezekiel, in describing... read more

I will make Pathros desolate That is, Thebais; and will set fire in Zoan Or, Tanis, one of the ancient cities in Egypt, and the metropolis of the kingdom in Moses’s time: see Psalms 78:12; Psalms 78:43.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 30:1-26

Desolation of Egypt (30:1-26)God’s coming judgment on Egypt will be a day of terror for other nations besides Egypt (30:1-3), because when Egypt falls many of its neighbouring allies will suffer also (4-5). These allies will be terrified as news reaches them of the calamities in Egypt. The invading army will overrun Egypt from north to south, killing the people and burning their cities (6-8). The people in neighbouring Ethiopia (NIV: Cush; GNB: Sudan) will be terror-stricken, knowing that they... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 30:15

15. Sin—that is, Pelusium, the frontier fortress on the northeast, therefore called "the strength (that is, the key) of Egypt." It stands in antithesis to No or Thebes at the opposite end of Egypt; that is, I will afflict Egypt from one end to the other. read more
