_ _ walk — are now setting out, namely, their ambassadors (Isaiah 30:4).

_ _ Egypt — See on Isaiah 19:1; Isaiah 20:1.

_ _ Pharaoh — the generic name of the kings of Egypt, as Caesar was at Rome. The word in Egyptian means “king” [Josephus, Antiquities, 8.6, 2]. Phra, “the sun,” was the hieroglyphic symbol and title of the king.

_ _ shadow — image from shelter against heat: protection (Psalms 121:5, Psalms 121:6).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 30:1-7.
