Ezekiel 29:14 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The captivity; which Nebuchadnezzar led away into Babylon. The land of Pathros; one province or country of Egypt; it was a southern part of Egypt. in which was the famous city Thebae or Thebais, known for its hundred gates. The land of their habitation; the ancient habitation of the fathers of the most of those that did return, forty years having eaten up almost all that had lived there before. A base kingdom; a low, tributary, dependent kingdom, subject to the Persian kingdom as Areasis was to Cyrus; and though it did at length grow great, yet was it always dependent on Greeks or Romans.

Ezekiel 29:14

14 And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation;c and they shall be there a base kingdom.
