Jamieson, Fausset & Brown1802–1910
Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)
Sin--that is, Pelusium, the frontier fortress on the northeast, therefore called "the strength (that is, the key) of Egypt." It stands in antithesis to No or Thebes at the opposite end of Egypt; that is, I will afflict Egypt from one end to the other.

destroy the idols
on Ezekiel 30:13-16
The judgment reaches Egypt's religion, I will also destroy the idols, and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt. Pathros, Zoan, and No, upper Egypt, the delta capital, and Thebes, name Egypt's cities. Barnes reads the specificity as the method the book used against Tyre.
This site's exposition
Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt
Pelusium, Hebrew Sin, guarded the eastern edge of the delta, where armies from Asia entered Egypt. The Persian king Cambyses won the battle that gave him Egypt near Pelusium in 525 BC. The stronghold of Egypt falls first.
The record, by era
The Church Fathers1 voice
(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.
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
A repetition of a former prophecy against Egypt, just before the desolation of it begun by their own bad conduct, which gradually weakened them and prepared the way for the king of Babylon,
And I will pour out my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt,....
The Nineteenth Century1 voice
My fury upon Sin - Pelusium, a strong city of Egypt, on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.
