Senses in use

  1. Proper geographical designation · dominant

    All four occurrences are tagged as a proper noun. In 2 Kings 19:24 and Isaiah 37:25, the APB renders clauses about drying up waters or streams associated with this place; Isaiah 19:6 similarly renders the Nile's branches in relation to it. In Micah 7:12, the APB renders movement "from Egypt" alongside movement from Assyria and other locations.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the place name as "Egypt" in clauses about rivers and streams in 2 Kings 19:24, Isaiah 19:6, and Isaiah 37:25, and as a point of origin in Micah 7:12. These renderings confirm the verses' geographical setting rather than isolate the term mechanically.
