Boyd’s Bible Dictionary
:
(red soil).
Son
of
Ham
(
Gen. 10:6
6
And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. (Genesis 10:6)
). The O. T. word translated
Egypt
(
Gen. 45:20
20
Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours. (Genesis 45:20)
;
Isa. 11:11
11
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. (Isaiah 11:11)
).
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
Son
of
Ham
, and the name of his descendants and also of the country possessed by them. Its signification is much disputed. The
Hebrew
word is really
Mitzraim
and is given in the AV, un-translated only in
Genesis 10:6,13
6
And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. (Genesis 10:6)
13
And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, (Genesis 10:13)
and
1 Chronicles 1:8,11
8
The sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. (1 Chronicles 1:8)
11
And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, (1 Chronicles 1:11)
. Elsewhere it is translated
EGYPT
.
The word
is in a
dual
form, occasioned, it has been thought, by the division of that land into Upper and Lower Egypt. The word
Matzor
, of which
Mitzraim
is the dual, occurs many
times
and is variously translated in the AV. In
2 Kings 19:24
24
I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places. (2 Kings 19:24)
and
Isaiah 37:25
25
I have digged, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places. (Isaiah 37:25)
it is “besieged places”; in
Isaiah 19:6
6
And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither. (Isaiah 19:6)
, “defense”; and in
Jeremiah 10:17
17
Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress. (Jeremiah 10:17)
, “
fortress
.” But it is a proper name and refers to Egypt. The Revisers and others translate it Egypt in all passages.
