Commentary on Jeremiah 46:252 voices
The Egyptians call Zeus Ammon. For this reason it is also called the Ammonian land. They have furnished the largest sacred precinct for this deity. He calls Ammon "Egypt's son" on the grounds that Ammon was a god created by it, since a statue is …
Theodoret of Cyrus· ON JEREMIAH 9:46, 458Patristic
The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saith,.... These titles are often given to the Lord, and set before prophecies that come from him; and, according to Kimchi, the reason why he is here spoken of as the God of Israel was, because the vengeance threatened to the Egyptians should come upon them, as a punishment for using Israel ill; as Shishak king of Egypt, and Pharaohnecho, who slew Josiah: behold, I will punish the multitude of No; the inhabitants of it, which were many, called "populous No", Nah 3:8; a famous city in Egypt.

- Ezekiel 30:14–16
I will lay waste Pathros, set fire to Zoan, and execute judgment on Thebes.
Commentary on Ezekiel 30:14–162 voices
(Chapter 30, Verses 1 and following) And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Son of man, prophesy and say: Thus saith the Lord God: Howl ye, woe, woe to the day: For the day is near, yea the day of the Lord is near, a day of cloud, the time of the nations shall be. And the sword shall come upon Egypt: and there shall be dread in Ethiopia, when the wounded shall fall in Egypt, and the multitude thereof shall be taken away, and the foundations thereof shall be destroyed.
Jerome· Commentary on Ezekiel, 420Patristic
And I will make Pathros desolate,.... A country in Egypt; See Gill on Eze 29:14, perhaps it was the first place that Nebuchadnezzar entered, and so went from place to place in the order hereafter mentioned: and I will set fire in Zoan; or Tunis, a famous city in Egypt in the times of Moses, Num 13:22. The Targum and Septuagint version call it Tanis here; and from hence a nome in Egypt was called the Tanitic nome.

- Nahum 3:8
Are you better than Thebes, stationed by the Nile with water around her, whose rampart was the sea, whose wall was the water?
Commentary on Nahum 3:82 voices
No - It is supposed this was what we now called Alexandria. Art thou greater, stronger, and wiser? Yet all her power was broken, her riches spoiled, and her glory buried in ruins.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
(Verse 8 and following) Are you better than Amon ((Vulgate: Alexandria of the nations)), who lived by the rivers? Her water was like a sea, her walls were like fortifications, Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and there was no end to her wealth; Africa and Libya were her allies. But she too was led into captivity, her young children were dashed to pieces at every street corner, her nobles were cast lots upon, and all her dignitaries were bound in chains.
Jerome· Commentary on Nahum, 420Patristic
