It served as a strategic military and trade location, often referred to as the "key of Egypt" due to its role in defending the nation from eastern invaders. The phrase indicates God's judgment against Egypt, highlighting Pelusium's importance as a target. This judgment reflects God's sovereignty over nations and His ability to execute justice. The pouring out of wrath signifies a complete and overwhelming judgment, similar to the imagery used in other prophetic books like Jeremiah and Isaiah, where God's wrath is depicted as a consuming force.<p><b>the stronghold of Egypt</b><br>Egypt was known for its fortified cities and military strength, with Pelusium being one of its most fortified locations. The term "stronghold" emphasizes the city's defensive capabilities and its role in protecting Egypt from external threats. This phrase underscores the futility of relying on human strength and fortifications when faced with divine judgment. The Bible often contrasts human power with God's omnipotence, as seen in Psalms and Proverbs, where trust in God is portrayed as the only true refuge.<p><b>and cut off the crowds of Thebes</b><br>Thebes, another major city in Egypt, was renowned for its wealth, culture, and religious significance, being home to the temple of Amun. The "crowds" likely refer to its population and possibly its gatherings for worship and commerce. The cutting off of Thebes' crowds signifies a disruption of its societal and religious life, pointing to the comprehensive nature of God's judgment. Historically, Thebes faced destruction and decline, aligning with the prophetic declarations. This phrase also serves as a reminder of the consequences of idolatry and pride, themes prevalent throughout the prophetic literature, where cities and nations are judged for their rebellion against God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet of God who ministered to the Jewish exiles in Babylon.

It was the frontier city, strongly fortified, and considered rightly as the key of Egypt, and hence called in the text its "strength." It is mentioned again in <a href="/ezekiel/30-16.htm" title="And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph shall have distresses daily.">Ezekiel 30:16</a>. The expression, "distresses daily" (literally, <span class= "ital">by day</span>)<span class= "ital">,</span> applied to Noph (Memphis), is a difficult one; it is understood by many as <span class= "ital">perpetually,</span> but more probably means <span class= "ital">distresses in the open day.</span> Its enemies shall make no covert attack, but come upon it boldly.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/30.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 15, 16.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Sin</span>. The name signifies "mire," like the Greek <span class="accented">Pelusium</span> (so the Vulgate), from <span class="greek">πήλος</span> (Strabo, 17. p. 802). The modern name <span class="accented">Pheromi</span> has the same meaning. The remains of an old fortress near the town are still known as <span class="accented">Tineh</span>, the "clay" of <a href="/daniel/2-41.htm">Daniel 2:41</a>. The fortress stood on the eastern branch of the Nile, surrounded by swamps, and its position made it, in modern phrase, the "key" of Egypt. Suidas and Strabo (<span class="accented">ut supra</span>) describe it as an obstacle to invaders from the East. Ezekiel, in describing it as "the <span class="accented">strength of</span> Egypt," must have known its local characteristics. <span class="cmt_word">The multitude of No</span>; in the Hebrew, as in <a href="/jeremiah/46-25.htm">Jeremiah 46:25</a>, <span class="accented">Hamon-No</span>.

So the Vulgate, <span class="accented">angustiae quotidianae</span>. Hitizig and Keil, however, take the words as "troubles in the day-time." The city should be <span class="accented">attacked</span>, not by night (<a href="/obadiah/1-5.htm">Obadiah 1:5</a>), but in open day (compare "the spoiler at noonday" of <a href="/jeremiah/15-8.htm">Jeremiah 15:8</a>).
