Psalms 87:4 - Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes

Bible Comments

Rahab. pride, or haughtiness. Used as name for Egypt (by Figure of speech Polyonymia, App-6), as in Psalms 89:10; Isaiah 51:9. Compare Job 9:13 with Job 26:12, not the same word as in Joshua 2.

Ethiopia. Supply Ellipsis of the verb "say": "Tyre with Ethiopia [say]" this, &c.

Psalms 87:4

4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.
