<p> | <p> '''(1)''' Νehar Μitsraim ( Genesis 15:18); "the Nile". </p> <p> '''(2)''' Νahal Μitsaim ( Numbers 34:5; Joshua 15:3-4; Joshua 15:47; 1 Kings 8:65; 2 Kings 24:7); "the torrent of Egypt": see above nahal , "a stream flowing rapidly in the rainy season, then drying up", inapplicable to the sluggish Nile ever flowing. The Rhinocorura or Rhinocolora ''(so [[Septuagint]] of '' Isaiah 27:12'')'' on the sea coast, a wady and torrent running into the sea two or three days' journey from the nearest branch of the Nile. Now ''wady el Arish'' . Though not in Egypt, it was the last torrent of any raze on the way toward Egypt from the [[N.]] In Joshua 13:3, "from [[Sihor]] which is before Egypt," the same torrent is marked as Israel's southern boundary, as the entering in of [[Hamath]] is the northern ( Numbers 34:5; Numbers 34:8). The Nile was not "before" ''(i.e. east of)'' Egypt, but flowed through the middle of the land; so 1 Chronicles 13:5. Shihor, "the black river," is the Nile's designation in Deuteronomy 23:3; Jeremiah 2:18. </p> | ||

<li> In Numbers 34:5 [[(Rsv,]] "brook of Egypt") the [[Hebrew]] word is <i> Nahal </i> , Denoting a stream flowing rapidly in winter, or in the rainy season. This is a desert stream on the borders of Egypt. It is now called the [[Wady]] el-'Arish. The present boundary between Egypt and [[Palestine]] is about midway between this wady and Gaza. (See Numbers 34:5; Joshua 15:4,47; 1 Kings 8:65; 2 Kings 24:7; Isaiah 27:12; Ezekiel 47:19 . In all these passages the [[Rsv]] has "brook" and the [[A.V.]] "river.") <div> <p> '''Copyright Statement''' These dictionary topics are from [[M.G.]] Easton [[M.A.,]] [[D.D.,]] Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Third Edition, published by [[Thomas]] Nelson, 1897.

<p> The [[S.W.]] border of the promised land was to be from 'the river of Egypt.' Genesis 15:18 . Here the word is <i> nahar, </i> and would seem to allude to the most eastern branch of the Delta of the Nile, called the Pelusiac mouth. In Numbers 34:5 'the river of Egypt' has the word <i> nachal, </i> signifying a winter torrent, and is supposed to refer to the <i> Wady el Arish </i> , 31 8' [[N,]] 33 50' [[E]] . </p> | |||
