13–19 In these verses, a number of Egyptian cities are mentioned; all will suffer the punishment inflicted by Nebuchadnezzar. All Egypt will be destroyed, from one end to the other.
20–26 Here Ezekiel returns to the chronologic order of his prophecies; he is back to the eleventh year of his exile, 587 B.C., about a year before the fall of Jerusalem. Pharaoh king of Egypt had attempted to interrupt Nebuchadnezzar’s siege of Jerusalem, but had failed (see Jeremiah 37:5–8). The Babylonians had driven the Egyptians back to Egypt; they had broken the arm of Pharaoh (verse 21)—just one arm. But the Lord was planning to break both his arms (verse 22) and disperse his people among the nations (verse 26). Then the Egyptians would know that it was the Lord who had brought this judgment upon them.
