Ezekiel 29:14-15

Context
29:14 I will restore the fortunes of Egypt, and will bring them back 1  to the land of Pathros, to the land of their origin; there they will be an insignificant kingdom. 29:15 It will be the most insignificant of the kingdoms; it will never again exalt itself over the nations. I will make them so small that they will not rule over the nations.

Zechariah 10:11

Context
10:11 The Lord 2  will cross the sea of storms and will calm its turbulence. The depths of the Nile will dry up, the pride of Assyria will be humbled, and the domination 3  of Egypt will be no more.

[29:14]  1 tc Thus the Masoretic Text. The LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate translate as though the Hebrew read “cause to inhabit.”

[10:11]  2 tn Heb “he,” in which case the referent is the Lord. This reading is followed by KJV, ASV, NAB (which renders it as first person), and NASB. The LXX reads “they,” referring to the Israelites themselves, a reading followed by many modern English versions (e.g., NIV, NRSV, TEV, NLT).

[10:11]  3 tn Heb “scepter,” referring by metonymy to the dominating rule of Egypt (cf. NLT).
