Yesaya 19:1

The Lord Will Judge Egypt

19:1 Here is a message about Egypt:

The idols of Egypt tremble before him;

[33:1]  ¹ sn This material can be arranged into four sections: from Egypt to Sinai (vv. 1-15), the wilderness wanderings (vv. 16-36), from Kadesh to Moab (vv. 37-49), and final orders for Canaan (vv. 50-56).

[33:1]  ² tn Heb “hand.”

[5:3]  ³ tc The LXX adds “they entered the temple of Dagon and saw.”

[6:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “your mice.” A Qumran ms has simply “the mice.”

[6:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “Perhaps he will lighten his hand from upon you and from upon your gods and from upon your land.”

[6:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “field.”

[6:1]  ⁷ tc The LXX adds “and their land swarmed with mice.”

[14:12]  ⁸ tn Heb “a thing.”

[14:12]  ⁹ tn The perfect verbal form is used rhetorically here to express Jonathan’s certitude. As far as he is concerned, the victory is as good as won and can be described as such.

[19:1]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and the heart of Egypt melts within it.”

[43:13]  ¹¹ sn It is generally agreed that the temple of the sun was located in Heliopolis, which is elsewhere referred to as On (cf. Gen 41:45). It was the center for the worship of Amon-Re, the Egyptian sun god, and was famous for its obelisks (conical shaped pillars) dedicated to that god. It was located about 6 miles (10 km) northeast of modern-day Cairo.

[2:11]  ¹² tn Heb “will be awesome over [or, “against”] them.”

[2:11]  ¹³ tn Or “certainly.”

[2:11]  ¹⁴ tn The meaning of this rare Hebrew word is unclear. If the meaning is indeed “weaken,” then this line may be referring to the reduction of these gods’ territory through conquest (see Adele Berlin, Zephaniah [AB 25A], 110-11). Cf. NEB “reduce to beggary”; NASB “starve”; NIV “when he destroys”; NRSV “shrivel.”

[2:11]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and all the coastlands of the nations will worship [or, “bow down”] to him, each from his own place.”
