They went through the Negev and reached Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak lived. (Hebron had been constructed seven years before Zoan in Egypt had been built).

He performed marvelous things in the presence of their ancestors in the land of Egypt in the fields of Zoan.

when he set his signs in Egypt and his wonders in the plain of Zoan.

Zoan's princes are nothing but fools; the wisest advisors of Pharaoh give stupid advice. How can you say to Pharaoh, "I'm a descendant of wise men, a descendant of ancient kings"?

The princes of Zoan have become fools, and the princes of Memphis deluded; the leaders of its tribes have led Egypt astray.

And it will turn out that his officials are at Zoan, and his envoys will reach Hanes.

I'm going to turn Pathros into a desolation, set fire to Zoan, and judge Thebes.
