Thematic Bible: A symbolic name applied to egypt


Thematic Bible



I will mention Rahab (defamatory word for Egypt) (a boaster) (Isaiah 30:7) and Babylon among those who know me. Behold, Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia: This one was born there.

Awake, awake! Clothe yourself with strength, O arm of Jehovah. Awake, as in days gone by, as in generations of old. Was it not you who cut Rahab to pieces, who pierced that monster through?

You crushed Rahab like one who is slain. You scattered your enemies with your mighty arm (power).

Egypt's help is completely useless. That is why I call her: Rahab, who sits still. (defamatory word for Egypt) (negative connotation)
