Sin is a proper place name in Ezekiel’s judgments against Egyptian locations.

The term is used as a proper place name in paired announcements of judgment: rage is poured out upon it in Ezekiel 30:15, and it is said to writhe in anguish when fire is set in Egypt in Ezekiel 30:16.

Senses in use

  1. Place named in judgments against Egypt · dominant

    Both occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper and identify the same location within judgment announcements. In Ezekiel 30:15 the APB renders rage being poured out upon “Pelusium,” while in Ezekiel 30:16 it renders “Pelusium” as writhing in anguish after fire is set in Egypt.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the place as “Pelusium” in both verses, within announcements of rage, fire, and anguish. It confirms the location’s presentation in each clause rather than supplying a separate lexical nuance.
