Proclamation Against Egypt

Verse 1

The burden against Egypt.

Behold, the Lord rides on a swift cloud,

And will come into Egypt;

The idols of Egypt will totter at His presence,

And the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst.

• "Burden" (Hebrew: Шаблон:Lang Шаблон:Strong-number): "oracle, prophecy"; the keyword in the superscriptions for a total of nine similar oracles; the others being: Isaiah 13:1; 15:1; 17:1; 21:1, 11, 13; 22:1; 23:1.Шаблон:Sfn
• "Totter": "shake"

Verse 13

The princes of Zoan have become fools;

The princes of Noph are deceived;

They have also deluded Egypt,

Those who are the mainstay of its tribes.

• "Princes": here refer to a group of expert counselors of the Egyptian Pharaoh; despite their renowned wisdom they are mock as incapable.Шаблон:Sfn
• Noph (or Moph) was the Hebrew name for the ancient city of Memphis.

Verse 15

Neither shall there be any work for Egypt,

which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.

• "the head or tail": see Шаблон:Bibleref2. Isaiah 9:15 gives the following interpretation of the terms:

"The elder and honorable, he is the head;

The prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail."

Verse 18

In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear by the Lord of hosts: one will be called the City of Destruction.

Some Hebrew manuscripts, the Arabic text, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Targum, and Vulgate refer to the Sun, while the Septuagint reads Asedek (literally Righteousness). The name "City of the Sun" is used in the Revised Standard Version and New International Version. John Wycliffe used the Greek name Heliopolis.
