NET © Notes

tn Heb “in that day” (so KJV), likewise at the beginning of vv. 18 and 19.

tn Heb “Egypt,” which stands by metonymy for the country’s inhabitants.

sn As the rest of the verse indicates, the point of the simile is that the Egyptians will be relatively weak physically and will wilt in fear before the Lord’s onslaught.

tn Heb “and he will tremble and be afraid because of the brandishing of the hand of the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, the Lord of hosts], which he brandishes against him.” Since according to the imagery here the Lord’s “hand” is raised as a weapon against the Egyptians, the term “fist” has been used in the translation.
