Context — The Desolation of Egypt

8Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will bring a sword against you and cut off from you man and beast. 9The land of Egypt will become a desolate wasteland. Then they will know that I am the LORD. Because you said, ‘The Nile is mine; I made it,’

10therefore I am against you and against your rivers. I will turn the land of Egypt into a ruin, a desolate wasteland from Migdol to Syene, and as far as the border of Cush.

11No foot of man or beast will pass through, and it will be uninhabited for forty years. 12I will make the land of Egypt a desolation among desolate lands, and her cities will lie desolate for forty years among the ruined cities. And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them throughout the countries.

Ezekiel 29:10 Summary

[Ezekiel 29:10 tells us that God is against Egypt because of their pride and arrogance, and He will turn their land into a desolate wasteland. This is a reminder that God is the true Creator and Sustainer of all things, as seen in Isaiah 45:18. Just like Egypt, we can sometimes think that we are in control and that our accomplishments are solely our own, but this verse shows us that God is the one who is truly in charge, and we must humble ourselves before Him (Proverbs 3:5-6). By trusting in God's sovereignty and provision, we can find peace and security even in uncertain times.]

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is God against Egypt in Ezekiel 29:10?

God is against Egypt because of their pride and arrogance, as seen in their claim that the Nile is theirs and they made it, as mentioned in Ezekiel 29:9. This is a reminder that God is the true Creator and Sustainer of all things, as stated in Isaiah 45:18.

What does it mean for the land to be turned into a ruin and desolate wasteland?

This means that Egypt will be completely devastated and uninhabitable, as described in Ezekiel 29:11, with no humans or animals passing through, similar to the desolation described in Jeremiah 51:43.

What is the significance of the locations mentioned in Ezekiel 29:10, such as Migdol, Syene, and Cush?

These locations represent the extent of the devastation, from the northern to the southern borders of Egypt, emphasizing that the entire land will be affected, as seen in the similar description of God's judgment in Zephaniah 2:12.

How does this verse relate to God's character and nature?

This verse shows God's justice and holiness, as He judges Egypt for their sin and pride, while also demonstrating His power and sovereignty over all nations, as declared in Psalm 103:19 and Jeremiah 18:7-10.

Reflection Questions

What are some areas in my life where I may be exhibiting pride and arrogance, similar to Egypt's claim about the Nile, and how can I humble myself before God?
How can I trust in God's sovereignty and provision, even in times of uncertainty and chaos, like the desolation described in this verse?

In what ways can I be a witness to God's power and justice in a world that often seems to be dominated by human pride and sin?

Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 29:10

Behold, therefore, I am against thee, and against thy rivers,.... Against the king of Egypt, and against his subjects, the many people he ruled over; as the Lord is against spiritual Egypt, and the

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 29:10

Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 29:10

I am against thee: see . Thy rivers: see . Waste: see . The tower; thus, as a common name, we, and the French, and others read it; but some account it a proper name of a town or city, called Magdalum, for aught I know the old Migdol, ,8; it was on the Red Sea side, north-east of Egypt: from this part unto Syene. Syene; a city on the east of Nilus over against Arabia, saith one; a city that is just below the great cataract or fall of Nilus toward Ethiopia, and such a boundary between Ethiopia and Egypt as admits dispute to which it belongs. Ethiopia: now, to dispute nothing of this geography, it seems likely to me, that what we render Ethiopia is not so well and plainly rendered; for Syene being so near to Ethiopia, we must look some place of Egypt at some greater distance from Syene than this Ethiopia is; if then it were translated, the border of Cush, to whom Moses assigns Arabia, . Let us suppose then Magdalum, instead of the tower, as one term; Syene on the edge of Ethiopia, as another; and the opposite point on the Red Sea towards Arabia; and then almost all Egypt is comprised herein, from north-east to south-east, down the Red Sea, thence to the westward as far as Ethiopia, and thence up the Nile as high northward as Magdalum.

Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 29:10

Ezekiel 29:10 Behold, therefore I [am] against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste [and] desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.Ver. 10. And against thy rivers.] The jealous God will down with the earthly idol, whatever it be. See on Ezekiel 29:9. And I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste.] Heb., Waste of wastes. From the tower of Syene,] i.e., From south to north.

Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 29:10

(10) From the tower of Syene.—The word here translated “tower” is a proper name, Migdol, a town, mentioned in Exodus 14:2, near Suez. Syene has in the original the affix denoting towards, and the translation should therefore be, from Migdol to Syene, even unto the border of Ethiopia; in other words, “the whole length of the land.” Syene was a town on the extreme southern border of Egypt, represented by the modern Assouan, which is situated near its ruins. There is a like error of translation in Ezekiel 30:6.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 29:10

Verse 10. From the tower of Syene] ממגדל מונה mimmigdol seveneh, "from Migdol to Syene." Syene, now called Essuan, was the last city in Egypt, going towards Ethiopia. It was famous for a well into which the rays of the sun fell perpendicularly at midday.

Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 29:10

10. the tower of Syene] Rather: from Migdol unto Syene—from Lower Egypt to the southern border of Upper Egypt. Migdol is said to have been situated 12 miles S. of Pelusium, upon the N. border of Lower Egypt (Exodus 14:2; Jeremiah 44:1; Jeremiah 46:14; Numbers 33:7). Syene (ch. Ezekiel 30:6), the modern Assouan, on the S. border of Upper Egypt. Cush or Ethiopia lay to the south of Pathros or Upper Egypt; its capital lay near the 4th Cataract, between Abu Hamed and old Dongola.

Barnes' Notes on Ezekiel 29:10

From the tower of Syene - Or, as in the margin, “Migdol” (“tower”) was about two miles from Suez. “Syene” was the most southern town in Egypt, on the borders of Ethiopia, in the Thebaid, on the eastern bank of the Nile.

Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 29:10

10. From the tower of Syene — Rather, as margin of A.V., “from Migdol to Syene” (Sunnu).
