Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 30:18

_ _ Tehaphnehes — called from the queen of Egypt mentioned in 1 Kings 11:19. The same as Daphne, near Pelusium, a royal residence of the Pharaohs (Jeremiah 43:7, Jeremiah 43:9). Called Hanes (Isaiah 30:4).

_ _ break ... the yokes of Egypt — that is, the tyrannical supremacy which she exercised over other nations. Compare “bands of their yoke” (Ezekiel 34:7).

_ _ a cloud — namely, of calamity.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 30:1-19.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 30:18

Tehaphnehes — A great and goodly city of Egypt; Tachapanes, Tachpanes, Tahapanes, Tahpanes, Chanes, and Hanes, are names given it, and this from a queen of Egypt of that name in Solomon's time. It stood not far from Sin, or Pelusium. Darkened — A night shall come upon it. Break — I shall break the kingdom of Egypt, that it no more oppress with yokes, that is, burdens. Her daughters — Her towns and villages.
