Ezekiel 30:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 30:6

Thus saith the Lord, they also that uphold Egypt shall fall,
&c.] That is, by the sword; either their allies and auxiliaries without, that supported the Egyptians with men and money; or their principal people within, their nobles that supported their state with their estates, their counsellors with their wisdom, their soldiers with their valour and courage: and the pride of her power shall come down;
or the power they were proud of, the dominion and grandeur they boasted of; the greatness of their king, and the largeness of their empire, with the wealth and riches of it: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the
Lord God;
or rather, from "Migdol to Syene"; so the Septuagint and Arabic versions, from one end of Egypt to the other; the sword would ravage, and multitudes fall by it, in all cities and towns, between the one and the other; which denotes the general slaughter that should be made; (See Gill on Ezekiel 29:10).

4 L'épée fondra sur l'Égypte, il y aura de l'effroi en Éthiopie, lorsqu'en Égypte tomberont les blessés à mort, qu'on enlèvera ses richesses et qu'on détruira ses fondements.
5 Cush, Put, et Lud, tous les mercenaires, et Cub et les enfants du pays allié tomberont avec eux par l'épée.
6 Ainsi a dit l'Éternel: Les soutiens de l'Égypte tomberont, l'orgueil de sa force sera abaissé; ils tomberont par l'épée au milieu d'elle, depuis Migdol à Syène, dit le Seigneur, l'Éternel.
7 Ils seront les plus désolés au milieu des pays désolés, et ses villes les plus désertes des villes désertes.
8 Ils sauront que je suis l'Éternel, lorsque j'aurai mis le feu à l'Égypte, et que tous ses appuis auront été brisés.
