7. unto me —however great ye seem to yourselves. Do not rely on past privileges, and on My having delivered you from Egypt, as if therefore I never would remove you from Canaan. I make no more account of you than of "the Ethiopian" (compare :- ). "Have not I (who) brought you out of Egypt," done as much for other peoples? For instance, did I not bring "the Philistines (see on :- , c.) from Caphtor (compare Deuteronomy 2:23 see on Deuteronomy 2:23- : ), where they had been bond-servants, and the Syrians from Kir?" It is appropriate, that as the Syrians migrated into Syria from Kir (compare Note, see on Deuteronomy 2:23- : ), so they should be carried back captive into the same land (see on Deuteronomy 2:23- : ; 2 Kings 16:9 ), just as elsewhere Israel is threatened with a return to Egypt whence they had been delivered. The "Ethiopians," Hebrew, "Cushites," were originally akin to the race that founded Babylon: the cuneiform inscriptions in this confirming independently the Scripture statement ( Genesis 10:6 ; Genesis 10:8 ; Genesis 10:10 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-8" class="com-number"
