Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 11:15

15 And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea , and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river , and shall smite it in the seven streams , and make men go over dry-shod.

Shall not onely divide it, as of old, but will quite dry it up, that it may be an High-way, as it is explained in the next Verse.

The Red Sea, which may well be called the Egyptian Sea, both because it borders upon Egypt, and because the Egyptians were drowned in it▪ which is called a tongue in the Hebrew Text, Ios. 15. 2, 5. as having some resemblance with a Tongue: for which reason the name of tongue hath been given by Geographers to Promontories of Land which shoot forth into the Sea, as this Sea did shoot out of the Main Ocean into the Land.

He alludes to Moses his shaking of his Hand with the Rod of God in it over the Sea.

To wit, of Egypt, Nilus, as appears both from the foregoing and from the following Words.

For which Nilus is famous in all Authors, and by which it emptieth it self into the Sea.
