Zechariah 10:10
10. Egypt ... Assyria--the former the first, the latter among the last of Israel's oppressors (or representing the four great world kingdoms, of which it was the first): types of the present universal dispersion, Egypt being south, Assyria north, opposite ends of the compass. Maurer conjectures that many Israelites fled to "Egypt" on the invasion of Tiglath-pileser. But Is 11:11 and this passage rather accord with the view of the future restoration. Gilead ... Lebanon--The whole of the Holy Land is described by two of its boundaries, the eastern ("Gilead" beyond Jordan) and the northern ("Lebanon"). place shall not be found for them--that is, there shall not be room enough for them through their numbers (Is 49:20; 54:3).
