Footnotes

  1. 38 Heb “inhabitants of daughter Egypt.” Like the phrase “daughter Zion,” “daughter Egypt” is a poetic personification of the land, here perhaps to stress the idea of defenselessness.
  2. 39 For the verb here see II נָצָה Nif and compare the usage in Jer 4:7; 9:11 and 2 Kgs 19:25. derives the verb from יָצַת (so 428 יָצַת Niph meaning “kindle, burn”) but still give it the meaning “desolate” here and in 2:15 and 9:11.
