Isaiah 11:15 And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river… The "tongue," i.e., the bay (cf. Joshua 15:2) of the Red Sea (the Gulf of Suez) will be "banned," i.e., rendered harmless to those who would cross it, by being dried up; "the river" (the Euphrates), swift and too deep to be forded as it is, will be split into seven separate channels, which separately may be forded without danger. (Prof . Driver, D. D.). Parallel Verses KJV: And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod. |
