Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from מִצְרַיִם (Mitsrayim), which refers to Egypt.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G124 (Αἰγύπτιος, Aigyptios): Refers to an Egyptian, used in the New Testament to denote individuals from Egypt.
• G125 (Αἴγυπτος, Aigyptos): Refers to Egypt, the nation itself, used in the New Testament to describe the land of Egypt.

These Greek entries correspond to the Hebrew term מִצְרִי (Mitsri) and its root מִצְרַיִם (Mitsrayim), maintaining the connection between the Hebrew and Greek biblical texts regarding Egypt and its people.

Usage: The term מִצְרִי (Mitsri) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote an individual from Egypt, commonly referred to as an Egyptian. It is used both in singular and plural forms to describe people of Egyptian descent or nationality.

Context: The term מִצְרִי (Mitsri) appears throughout the Hebrew Bible to identify individuals or groups originating from Egypt. Egypt, known as מִצְרַיִם (Mitsrayim) in Hebrew, was a significant nation in biblical history, often interacting with the Israelites. The Egyptians are frequently mentioned in narratives involving the patriarchs, the Exodus, and various prophetic writings.

In the book of Genesis, Egyptians are encountered during the time of Abraham and Joseph. For instance, Joseph's rise to power in Egypt and his interactions with the Egyptian people are pivotal in the narrative of Genesis. In Exodus, the Egyptians play a central role as the oppressors of the Israelites, leading to the dramatic events of the Exodus under Moses' leadership.

The term is also used in legal and prophetic contexts. For example, in Deuteronomy 23:7, the Israelites are instructed not to abhor an Egyptian, reflecting the complex relationship between the two peoples. In the prophetic books, Egypt is often mentioned in oracles and prophecies, symbolizing both a place of refuge and a source of idolatry and oppression.

The Egyptians are depicted in various lights throughout the biblical text, from adversaries to allies, and their interactions with the Israelites are integral to the unfolding of biblical history.
