Context — A Lament for Egypt

11He and his people with him, the most ruthless of the nations, will be brought in to destroy the land. They will draw their swords against Egypt and fill the land with the slain. 12I will make the streams dry up and sell the land to the wicked. By the hands of foreigners I will bring desolation upon the land and everything in it. I, the LORD, have spoken.

13This is what the Lord GOD says: I will destroy the idols and put an end to the images in Memphis. There will no longer be a prince in Egypt, and I will instill fear in that land.

14I will lay waste Pathros, set fire to Zoan, and execute judgment on Thebes. 15I will pour out My wrath on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and cut off the crowds of Thebes.

Ezekiel 30:13 Summary

[Ezekiel 30:13 tells us that God is going to remove all the false idols and images that the people of Memphis worship, because He is a jealous God who wants us to worship only Him, as we see in Exodus 20:3-5. This means that God will not tolerate anything that takes our attention away from Him. He will also remove all human leaders from Egypt, leaving the land without a ruler, and bring a sense of fear and awe to the people, so they recognize His power and authority, similar to what happened in Genesis 35:5.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Lord GOD mean by 'I will destroy the idols and put an end to the images in Memphis' in Ezekiel 30:13?

This means that God will remove all false idols and images that the people of Memphis worship, as He is a jealous God who demands exclusive worship, as seen in Exodus 20:3-5.

Why will there no longer be a prince in Egypt according to Ezekiel 30:13?

This is because God will remove all human leaders from Egypt, leaving the land without a ruler, much like what happened in Esther 1:1-4 when King Ahasuerus was in power but God was still sovereign.

What does it mean for God to 'instill fear in that land' in Ezekiel 30:13?

This means that God will bring a sense of awe and reverence, but also terror, to the land of Egypt, causing the people to recognize His power and authority, similar to what happened in Genesis 35:5 when God struck fear in the hearts of the surrounding cities.

Is Ezekiel 30:13 still relevant today?

Yes, Ezekiel 30:13 reminds us that God is still a God of judgment and that He will not tolerate idolatry, as seen in 1 Corinthians 10:14, and that we should turn to Him in reverence and worship.

Reflection Questions

What are some idols in my life that I need to destroy, and how can I put an end to them?
How can I ensure that I am giving exclusive worship to the one true God, and not dividing my heart between Him and other things?
What does it mean for me to 'fear' God, and how can I cultivate a healthy sense of reverence and awe for Him in my life?
How can I trust in God's sovereignty, even when human leaders and governments seem to be in control?

Thus saith the Lord God, I will also destroy the idols,.... With which Egypt abounded, making an idol of all sorts of creatures, rational and irrational, animate and inanimate, and in which they

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 30:13

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 30:13

I will also destroy; God did it by the Babylonians; those proud and impious nations did triumph over the gods of the conquered, and out of contempt of them burnt them or broke them, as is well known; so Sennacherib threatened, ,24, against the true God, as he did to idol gods. The idols; dunghill gods, as the words, fitter to be trod under foot than to be decked and respected. Their images; these nothings, as the word imports; whoever destroyed the image destroyed the god, for it was nothing but an image. Noph; Memphis, now Grand Cairo, the chief city of the country, the seat of their kings first, of their priests by consequence, and of all their several gods too; but the Chaldeans destroyed the nest and birds too. A prince; either an Egyptian horn, or independent, or over all Egypt, or that shall have the power, wealth, or honour like a former brave Egyptian king. A fear of consternation and cowardice, that should disable them for counsel and action in their most urgent affairs.

Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 30:13

Ezekiel 30:13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause [their] images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.Ver. 13. I will also destroy their idols.] He did so by Cambyses. See on Ezekiel 30:6. He doth so still by the Turks. When they invade Popish countries, they break down their mawmets. Out of Noph.] Called also Moph, afterwards Memphis (the metropolis of idolatry; Nazianzen calleth it ανοια, the mad city, because ειδωλομανης, madly set upon idols, Apis especially), afterwards Babylon, and now Alcair; famous for its incredible greatness, fair situation, pillars and pyramids. It was the seat royal of the sultans, till taken by the Turks from Camson Gaurus and the Mamelukes about the year 1515. And there shall be no more a prince.] For forty years at least.

Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 30:13

(13) Noph.—A contraction of Menoph, Memphis, the capital of Lower Egypt, situated in the region of the Pyramids, the seat of several dynasties, one of the chief centres of Egyptian idolatry, and celebrated for its Temple of Ptah. There shall be no more a prince is to be understood, in accordance with the rest of the prophecy, not absolutely, but relatively: there shall be no more a native prince possessing the power of former kings.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 30:13

Verse 13. Their images to cease out of Noph] Afterwards Memphis, and now Cairo or Kahira. This was the seat of Egyptian idolatry; the place where Apis was particularly worshipped. No more a prince of the land of Egypt] Not one, from that time to the present day. See Clarke on Ezekiel 29:14.

Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 30:13

13. destroy the idols] On “idols” ch. Ezekiel 6:5. The clause fails in LXX. their images to cease] Lit., their not-gods, a favourite term of Isaiah’s, e.g. Ezekiel 19:1; Ezekiel 19:3, though found only here in Ezek. For “not-gods” (elîlim) LXX. renders “magnates” (elim), which no doubt gives a good parallelism to the next clause; cf. Isaiah 34:12.put a fear] Cf. Isaiah 19:16, Egypt “shall fear because of the shaking of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he shaketh over it.” Noph (in Hosea 9:6 Moph) is Memphis, the most important city of lower Egypt, lying on the left bank of the Nile, somewhat south of the modern Cairo. Isaiah 19:13; Jeremiah 2:16; Jeremiah 44:1; Jeremiah 46:14.

Barnes' Notes on Ezekiel 30:13

Noph - Memphis Isaiah 19:13.

Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 30:13

13. Images — Hebrews, no-gods. By the omission of one syllable the LXX. reads, “great ones.” Noph — LXX., Memphis, as Hosea 9:6; “Moph” (Assyrian, Mi-im-pi).
