And they ascended by the south, and came to Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

Marvelous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:

Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counselors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye to Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?

The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the support of its tribes.

For his princes were at Zoan, and his embassadors came to Hanes.

And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No.
