• Hebron means “fellowship,” “society.” It has an important place in the early books of the Bible, but no place at all in the prophetical books, or in the New Testament. Egypt is a well-known type of the world. We get Egypt, Babylon, and Sodom as types of the world in the Old Testament, the world in different aspects. Perhaps Egypt is the most striking of all; it is the world in which we were poor slaves and needed deliverance. (“Chapter 13.” by J.A. Taylor, of Worthing)
• And Zoan was, under one or two of their dynasties, the capital of Lower Egypt. It is connected here with Egypt. I feel there is a volume of teaching in what is presented to us. Zoan means (according to Dr. Adam Clarke), “moving,” never still. That would be just the character of the world. “There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.” “The wicked are like the troubled sea, which cannot be quiet;” all commotion and confusion. The first mention of Hebron is in Genesis 13:18. It was a place of worship, a place of communion with God. Being built before Zoan would show that the things for the saints of God precede anything and everything of the world. It was in Hebron Abram was told of the birth of Isaac. It was there God visited him in Genesis 18. It was there that he bought the field of Machpelah as a burying place. It was from thence they got the grapes of Eshcol. And it was there that faithfulness was rewarded, for it was given as an inheritance to Caleb. “Well done, good and faithful servant!” (“Chapter 13.” by J.A. Taylor, of Worthing)
