Ezekiel 30:14

14. Pathros See note on Ezekiel 29:14. Zoan (Numbers 13:22; Isaiah 19:11) Tanis (modern San). This city commanded the northern highway to Syria, and was a royal city (probably the Raamses of the Bible, Exodus 1:11; compare Psalms 78:43) filled with monuments which even yet remain covered with inscriptions in which the kings call themselves “givers of all stability”… “reducing every foreign land to nonexistence” ( Egyptian Exploration Fund, Second and Fourth Memoirs).

No No Amon (Nahum 3:8) was Thebes (Jeremiah 46:25). Hundreds of the mighty pillars of Thebes can be seen to-day lying in ruins, as if smitten by the fist of the Almighty. Professor R.S. Poole justly says that “nowhere else in Egypt has the solid masonry of the temples been thus destroyed.”
