43:12 The Babylonian conqueror would pick Egypt clean, just as a shepherd picks lice off his clothes. This delousing imagery does not seem to depict any resistance from the Egyptians.
43:13 The sun temple is a reference to Heliopolis (Hb On), known for its temple to the sun god Re. This city, five miles northeast of Cairo, was noted for its obelisks (sacred pillars). Besides those that were smashed, these obelisks were later carted off to New York, Rome, London, Istanbul, and Alexandria, leaving only one at On. Originally two rows of pillars lined the approach to Re’s temple.
