Matthew Poole and continuators on Zephaniah 3:10

10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia , my suppliants , even the daughter of my dispersed shall bring mine offering .

The Coasts which lie beyond the Rivers of India, saith the Ch[illegible: 2 letters]d▪ paraphrast, but I doubt whether the Captive Jews were carried so farr,

in Arabia, bordering on Egypt, whether 'tis easie to conceive many Jews might betake themselves, who are here called dispersed, or dispersion, somewhat distinguisht from Captives.

Praying to me, saith one version.

This explains who the suppliant is.

The praying remnant of the scattered Jews, who had gotten into those parts of Arabia that were coasting along the Rivers which divided Ethiopia Cu[illegible: 1 letter]aea from the rest of Arabia.

Shall return to their Land and bring themselves an offering unto the Lord, which was done when Cyrus in league with these Ethiopians procured their favour for the dispersed Jews, that they might return to Ierusalem, meet the [illegible: 1 letter] Captive brethren, and offer a gift to God.
