Mazor [1]
(Heb. Matsor', מָצוֹר ), a name occurring only in the original, and which the traslators of the A. V. ("besieged places," 2 Kings 19:24; Isaiah 37:25; "fortified cities," Micah 7:12; "defense," Isaiah 19:6) have confounded with a word of the same form signifying a Fortress (as in Psalms 31:22; Habakkuk 2:1, etc.). Gesenius, however ( Thesaur. Heb. p. 815), regards it as a title of Egypt, and apparently Lower Egypt, as, in three out of the four passages where it occurs, it is in the phrase יְאֹרֵי מָצוֹר , the Streams or canals Of Egypt, I. e. the branches of the Nile ( Isaiah 19:6; Isaiah 37:25; 2 Kings 19:24); and that it comes from the Egpytian word Meduro, A Kingdom; perhaps the sing. of the dual form Mizriailum, מִצְרִיַם q. d. Double Egypt (comp. Josephus, Ant. 1:6, 2). Others (see Bochart, Phaleag, 4:24), as probably the Hebrews themselves, considered Egypt to be so called as being strongly fortified (see Died. Sic. 1:31). (See Egypt); (See Fortress).
