Ezekiel 29:12 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Ezekiel 29:12

10 Indeed, therefore, I am against you and against your rivers, ^aand I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, ^bfrom Migdol to Syene, as far as the border of Ethiopia.

11 ^aNeither foot of man shall pass through it nor foot of beast pass through it, and it shall be uninhabited forty years.

12 ^aI will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and among the cities that are laid waste, her cities shall be desolate forty years; and I will ^bscatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them throughout the countries.”

13 ‘Yet, thus says the Lord God: “At the ^aend of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they were scattered.

14 I will bring back the captives of Egypt and cause them to return to the land of Pathros, to the land of their origin, and there they shall be a ^alowly kingdom.

Ezekiel 29:12

As Israel passed through a term of wilderness discipline (compare Ezekiel 20:35, etc.), which was in its essential features to be repeated again, so it was to be with Egypt [FAIRBAIRN]. Some Egyptians were to be carried to Babylon, also many "scattered" in Arabia and Ethiopia through fear; but mainly the "scattering" was to be the dissipation of their power, even though the people still remained in their own land.
