Yesaya 19:24

19:24 At that time Israel will be the third member of the group, along with Egypt and Assyria, and will be a recipient of blessing ¹  in the earth. ² 

Hosea 11:11

11:11 They will return in fear and trembling ³ 

like birds from Egypt,

like doves from Assyria,

and I will settle them in their homes,” declares the Lord.

Mikha 7:12

A Closing Prayer

7:12 In that day people ⁴  will come to you ⁵ 

from Assyria as far as ⁶  Egypt,

from Egypt as far as the Euphrates River, ⁷ 

from the seacoasts ⁸  and the mountains. ⁹ 

Zakharia 10:10

10:10 I will bring them back from Egypt and gather them from Assyria. ¹⁰  I will bring them to the lands of Gilead and Lebanon, for there will not be enough room for them in their own land.

[19:24]  ¹ tn Heb “will be a blessing” (so NCV).

[19:24]  ² tn Or “land” (KJV, NAB).

[11:11]  ³ tn For the meaning of חָרַד (harad, “to tremble”) with prepositions of direction, see 11:10 above.

[7:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “they.” The referent has been specified as “people,” referring either to the nations (coming to God with their tribute) or to the exiles of Israel (returning to the Lord).

[7:12]  ⁵ tn The masculine pronominal suffix suggests the Lord is addressed. Some emend to a feminine form and take Jerusalem as the addressee.

[7:12]  ⁶ tc The MT reads וְעָרֵי (vÿ’arey, “and the cities [of Egypt]”), but the parallel line indicates this is a corruption of וְעַד (vÿ’ad, “even to”).

[7:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “the River,” referring to the Euphrates River. This has been specified in the translation for clarity (so also NASB, NIV).

[7:12]  ⁸ tn Heb “and sea from sea.” Many prefer to emend this to מִיָּם עַד יָם (miyyam ’ad yam, “from sea to sea”).

[7:12]  ⁹ tn Heb “and mountain of the mountain.” Many prefer to emend this to וּמֵהַר עַד הַר (umehar ’ad har, “and mountain to mountain”).

[10:10]  ¹⁰ sn I will bring them back from Egypt…from Assyria. The gathering of God’s people to their land in eschatological times will be like a reenactment of the exodus, but this time they will come from all over the world (cf. Isa 40:3-5; 43:1-7, 14-21; 48:20-22; 51:9-11).
