Isaiah19:13
Ver. 13. The Princes of Zoan are become fools] Wilful fools: this they are told twice over, becauſe hardly perſwaded to it. See ver. 11.
The Princes of Noph] Called alſo Moph, Hoſ. 9.6. and therehence Memphis, now Grand-Cairo, famous once for the Pyramides and Monuments of the Egyptian Kings.
Even they that are the ſtay of the Tribes thereof] Heb. The corners of the Tribes or Rectories: The free States of Switſerland are called Cantons, l. e. corners. that is, either the King and Chieftaines, as ſome ſenſe it; Or, as others, all the Inhabitants of the Countrey from one corner thereof unto another. How theſe wiſe men of Egypt deceived others, is not expreſſed: but probably they did it by approving and cheriſhing the ſuperſtition, impiety and carnal ſecurity of the Princes and people.
