Guiding Questions: Isaiah 19

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

In the description of Egypt, what does Isaiah 19:2 imply as to one of the prime difficulties the country will face?
Does Isaiah 19:4 imply foreign domination for the Egyptians as one part of the decline of that country?
In Isaiah 19:7 what is the “Yeor” and what is its special significance to Egypt?
Isaiah 19:11-12 echoes an experience with Egypt in earlier Biblical text. Does this have any reference to the Exodus?
Would Isaiah 19:17-18 imply that Judea will presently rule Egypt?
Would Isaiah 19:19 imply that the religion of the Egyptians would change or does this reflect conquest?
Does Isaiah 19:24 imply that Israel will have achieved an international prominence of significance?
Would Isaiah 19:25 indicate an international provenance for God’s domination but, withal, a priority for a particular group?
