Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Zechariah 10:11

_ _ pass ... sea with affliction — Personifying the “sea”; He shall afflict the sea, that is, cause it to cease to be an obstacle to Israel’s return to Palestine (Isaiah 11:15, Isaiah 11:16). Vulgate translates, “The strait of the sea.” Maurer, “He shall cleave and smite.” English Version is best (Psalms 114:3). As Jehovah smote the Red Sea to make a passage for His people (Exodus 14:16, Exodus 14:21), so hereafter shall He make a way through every obstacle which opposes Israel’s restoration.

_ _ the river — the Nile (Amos 8:8; Amos 9:5), or the Euphrates. Thus the Red Sea and the Euphrates in the former part of the verse answer to “Assyria” and “Egypt” in the latter.

_ _ sceptre of Egypt ... depart — (Ezekiel 30:13).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Zechariah 10:11

And he passed through — The whole verse is an allusion to what God had done in the two famous deliverances of his people, bringing them out of Egypt, through the Red Sea, and through Jordan, and destroying the Egyptians, and delivering them out of Assyrian bondage, and in order thereto, destroying that kingdom.
