At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.
Tehaphnehes - called from the queen of Egypt, Tahpenes, and sister to the wife of Hadad, of the royal seed of Edom, who fled from Edom to Pharaoh, and afterward became Solomon's adversary, as is mentioned in 1 Kings 9:19. The same as Daphne near Pelusium, a royal residence of the Pharaohs (Jeremiah 43:7; Jeremiah 43:9). Called Hanes (Isaiah 30:4).
When I shall break there the yokes of Egypt - i:e., the tyrannical supremacy which she exercised over other nations. Compare "the bands of their yoke" (Ezekiel 34:27).
A cloud shall cover her - "a cloud," namely, of calamity.
