Gill's Notes on the Bible
In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month,.... In the tenth year Jeconiah's captivity, and Zedekiah's reign. The Septuagint version has it, the twelfth year; and the Arabic version, the twelfth month; and the Septuagint version again, the first day of the month; and the Vulgate Latin, the eleventh day of it. This month was the month Tebet, and answers to part of December, and part of January. This prophecy was delivered before that concerning Tyre, though placed after it, because fulfilled after it, which gave Nebuchadnezzar Egypt as a reward for besieging and taking Tyre:
the word of the Lord came unto me, saying; as follows.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The tenth year - Jerusalem had been besieged, but not taken. Jeremiah delivered his prophecy against Egypt, about the time when the approach of Pharaoh Hophra’s army caused the Chaldaeans for the time to raise the siege Jeremiah 37:5. This was the solitary instance of Egypt meddling with the affairs of Palestine or Syria after the battle of Carchemish (compare 2 Kings 24:7); it met with speedy punishment.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXIX
This and the three following chapters foretell the conquest of
Egypt by Nebuchadnezzar, which he accomplished in the
twenty-seventh year of Jehoiachin's captivity. The same event
is foretold by Jeremiah, Jeremiah 46:13, c.
The prophecy opens with God's charging the king of Egypt
(Pharaoh-hophra) with the same extravagant pride and profanity
which were in the preceding chapter laid to the charge of the
prince of Tyre. He appears, like him, to have affected Divine
honours and boasted so much of the strength of his kingdom,
that, as an ancient historian (Herodotus) tells us, he
impiously declared that God himself could not dispossess him.
Wherefore the prophet, with great majesty, addresses him under
the image of one of those crocodiles or monsters which
inhabited that river, of whose riches and revenue he vaunted;
and assures him that, with as much ease as a fisherman drags
the fish he has hooked, God would drag him and his people into
captivity, and that their carcasses should fall a prey to the
beasts of the field and to the fowls of heaven, 1-7.
The figure is then dropped; and God is introduced denouncing,
in plain terns, the most awful judgments against him and his
nation, and declaring that the Egyptians should be subjected to
the Babylonians till the fall of the Chaldean empire, 8-12.
The prophet then foretells that Egypt, which was about to be
devastated by the Babylonians, and many of the people carried
into captivity, should again become a kingdom; but that it
should never regain its ancient political importance; for, in
the lapse of time, it should be even the BASEST of the
kingdoms, a circumstance in the prophecy most literally
fulfilled, especially under the Christian dispensation, in its
government by the Mameluke slaves, 13-16.
The prophecy, beginning at the seventeenth verse, is connected
with the foregoing, as it relates to the same subject, though
delivered about seventeen years later. Nebuchadnezzar and his
army, after the long siege of Tyre, which made every head bald
by constantly wearing their helmets, and wore the skin of off
every shoulder by carrying burdens to raise the fortifications,
were disappointed of the spoil which they expected, by the
retiring of the inhabitants to Carthage. God, therefore,
promises him Egypt for his reward, 17-20.
The chapter concludes with a prediction of the return of the
Jews from the Babylonish captivity, 21.
