Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 11 The word translated “streams” here refers to the streams of the Nile (cf. Exod 7:19; 8:1) for parallel usage. The hubris of the Egyptian Pharaoh is referred to in vv. 7–8 as he compares his might to that of the Nile River whose annual flooding was responsible for the fertility of Egypt. A very similar picture of the armies of Assyria overcoming everything in its path is presented in Isa 8:7–8.
