Ezequiel 30:21

Filipino Cebuano Bible

21 Anak sa tawo, gibunggo ko na ang bukton ni Faraon nga hari sa Egipto; ug ania karon, kini wala bugkosi, aron butangan sa mga tambal nga makaayo , aron butangan sa vendaje sa pagbugkos niini, aron kini molig-on unta sa pagkupot sa espada.

Son of man: This prophecy was delivered soon after the Egyptians under Pharaoh-hophra had come to relieve Jerusalem, and some months before the city was taken, being the eleventh year of Jeremiah's captivity, and answering to April 26, am 3416. When the king of Babylon took from the king of Egypt, in the days of Pharaoh-necho, all his dominions in Asia, one of his arms was broken. God now declared that he should never recover these territories, or gain any ascendancy in that part of the world; nay, that his other arm, which was now strong, should soon be broken, and rendered utterly useless. This was fulfilled when Hophra was dethroned and driven into Upper Egypt by Amasis; and then Nebuchadnezzar, taking advantage of this civil discord, invaded and conquered that kingdom, and enslaved, dispersed, and carried captive the Egyptians.

I have: Ezekiel 30:24, Psalms 10:15, Psalms 37:17, Jeremiah 48:25

it shall not: Isaiah 1:6, Jeremiah 30:13, Jeremiah 46:11, Jeremiah 51:8, Jeremiah 51:9, Nahum 3:16, Revelation 18:21

Reciprocal: 1 Samuel 2:31 - I will cut Psalms 58:6 - Break their Psalms 76:5 - and Psalms 89:43 - turned Isaiah 45:1 - holden Ezekiel 31:17 - that were Daniel 11:6 - retain Nahum 3:19 - no

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt,.... Not Pharaohnecho, king of Egypt, whose army was overthrown at Carchemish by the king of Babylon, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim; when the latter took from the former all that belonged to him between the river of Egypt and the river Euphrates; by which he was so weakened and dispirited, that he could not stir any more out of his own land,

Jeremiah 46:2 and of him Jarchi and Kimchi interpret it; but Pharaohhophra, or Apries, who was defeated by the Cyreneans, and saved himself by flight; Jeremiah 46:2- ::

and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it; a metaphor taken from chirurgeons, who, having set broken bones, put on a bandage or rollers of linen, or such like stuff, to keep them tight; but nothing of this kind should be done; hereby suggesting that Egypt should receive such a blow or wound as would be incurable; see

Jeremiah 46:11:

to make it strong to hold the sword; which it should not be able to do, or to make war any more, at least with success, or to defend itself.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Fourth prophecy against Egypt spoken three months before the capture of Jerusalem Ezekiel 26:1, and three months after the prophecy of Ezekiel 29:1. Meantime, Pharaoh-Hophra’s attempt on Jerusalem had been foiled, and the Egyptians driven back into their own country (Jeremiah 37:5 note).

Ezekiel 30:21

I have broken - Especially by the defeat at Carchemish.

A roller - Or, a bandage.

Ezekiel 30:22

The strong - Such power as Egypt yet retained at home and abroad.

That which was broken - The power which Egypt aimed at ineffectually, the conquest of Palestine and Syria.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 30:21. I have broken the arm of Pharaoh — Perhaps this may refer to his defeat by Nebuchadnezzar, when he was coming with the Egyptian army to succour Jerusalem.
