Ezequiel 29:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 29:8

Therefore thus saith the Lord God
Because of the pride of the king of Egypt, asserting the river to be his own, and made by him for himself; and because of his perfidy to the house of Israel: behold, I will bring a sword upon thee;
or those that kill with the sword, as the Targum; first a cival war, occasioned by the murmurs of the people, on account of the defeat of their army at Cyrene; which issued in the dethroning and strangling of this king, as before observed and setting up another; which cival commotions Nebuchadnezzar took the advantage of, and came against Egypt with a large army: and cut off man and beast out of thee;
for what with the civil wars among themselves, and what with the devastations of the king of Babylon's army, putting men to the sword, and seizing upon the beasts for their food, to support such an army in a foreign land, it was pretty well stripped of both.

Ezequiel 29:8 In-Context

6 E saberão todos os moradores do Egito que eu sou o Senhor, porque tu tens sido um bordão de cana para a casa de Israel.

7 Tomando-te eles na mão, tu te quebraste e lhes rasgaste todo o ombro; e quando em ti se apoiaram, tu te quebraste, fazendo estremecer todos os seus lombos.

8 Portanto, assim diz o Senhor Deus: Eis que eu trarei sobre ti a espada, e de ti exterminarei homem e animal.

9 E a terra do Egito se tornará em desolação e deserto; e saberão que eu sou o Senhor. Porquanto disseste: O rio é meu, e eu o fiz;

10 por isso eis que eu estou contra ti e contra os teus rios; e tornarei a terra do Egito em desertas e assoladas solidões, desde Migdol de Sevené até os confins da Etiópia.
