Isaiah 11:15
_ _ There shall be a second exodus, destined to eclipse even the former one from Egypt in its wonders. So the prophecies elsewhere (Psalms 68:22; Exodus 14:22; Zechariah 10:11). The same deliverance furnishes the imagery by which the return from Babylon is described (Isaiah 48:20, Isaiah 48:21).
_ _ destroy — literally, “devote,” or “doom,” that is, dry up; for what God dooms, perishes (Psalms 106:9 Nahum 1:4).
_ _ tongue — the Bubastic branch of the Nile [Vitringa]; but as the Nile was not the obstruction to the exodus, it is rather the west tongue or Heroöpolite fork of the Red Sea.
_ _ with ... mighty wind — such as the “strong east wind” (Exodus 14:21), by which God made a way for Israel through the Red Sea. The Hebrew for “mighty” means terrible. Maurer translates, “With the terror of His anger”; that is, His terrible anger.
_ _ in the seven streams — rather, “shall smite it (divide it by smiting) into seven (many) streams, so as to be easily crossed” [Lowth]. So Cyrus divided the river Gyndes, which retarded his march against Babylon, into three hundred sixty streams, so that even a woman could cross it [Herodotus, 1.189]. “The river” is the Euphrates, the obstruction to Israel’s return “from Assyria” (Isaiah 11:16), a type of all future impediments to the restoration of the Jews.
_ _ dry shod — Hebrew, “in shoes.” Even in sandals they should be able to pass over the once mighty river without being wet (Revelation 16:12). |
Isaiah 11:15
Destroy — Shall not only divide it, as of old, but dry it up, that it may be an high — way. The sea — The Red Sea, which may well be called the Egyptian sea, both because it borders upon Egypt, and because the Egyptians were drowned in it, which is called a tongue in the Hebrew text, Joshua 15:2, Joshua 15:5, as having some resemblance with a tongue: for which reason the name of tongue hath been given by geographers to promontories of land which shoot forth into the sea, as this sea did shoot out of the main ocean into the land. Rivers — Nile. Seven streams — For which it is famous in all authors. |
Isaiah 11:15
And the LORD shall utterly destroy the (i) tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand (k) over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make [men] go over dryshod.
(i) Meaning a corner of the sea that enters into the land and has the form of a tongue.
(k) That is, Nile, the great river of Egypt which enters into the sea with seven streams. |
- utterly:
Isaiah 50:2 Wherefore, when I came, [was there] no man? when I called, [was there] none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because [there is] no water, and dieth for thirst.
Isaiah 51:9-10 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. [Art] thou not it that hath cut Rahab, [and] wounded the dragon? ... [Art] thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?
Zechariah 10:11 And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.

And the fish that [was] in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
Psalms 74:13-15 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters. ... Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.
Ezekiel 29:10 Behold, therefore I [am] against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste [and] desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.
Ezekiel 30:12 And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I the LORD have spoken [it].
Revelation 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
