Isaiah 19:5
_ _ the sea — the Nile. Physical calamities, it is observed in history, often accompany political convulsions (Ezekiel 30:12). The Nile shall “fail” to rise to its wonted height, the result of which will be barrenness and famine. Its “waters” at the time of the overflow resemble “a sea” [Pliny, Natural History, 85.11]; and it is still called El-Bahr,” “the sea,” by the Egyptians (Isaiah 18:2; Jeremiah 51:36). A public record is kept at Cairo of the daily rise of the water at the proper time of overflow, namely, August: if it rises to a less height than twelve cubits, it will not overflow the land, and famine must be the result. So, also, when it rises higher than sixteen; for the waters are not drained off in time sufficient to sow the seed. |
Isaiah 19:5
The waters — Which may be understood either, Metaphorically, of the taking away of their dominion or commerce, &c. or rather, Properly, as may be gathered from the following words. For as the river Nile, when it had a full stream, and free course, did pour forth a vast quantity of waters by its seven famous mouths into the sea, so when that was dried up, which is expressed in the next clause, those waters did truly and properly fail from the sea. So there is no need of understanding by sea either the river Nile, or the great lake of Maeris, which, after the manner of the Hebrews, might be so called. The river — Nile: upon whose fulness and overflow both the safety and the wealth of the land depended; and therefore this was a very terrible judgment. Dried up — Not totally, but in a very great measure. |
Isaiah 19:5
And the waters shall (e) fail from the sea, and the rivers shall be wasted and dried up.
