Context — A Lament for Egypt
13This is what the Lord GOD says: I will destroy the idols and put an end to the images in Memphis. There will no longer be a prince in Egypt, and I will instill fear in that land.
14I will lay waste Pathros, set fire to Zoan, and execute judgment on Thebes.
15I will pour out My wrath on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and cut off the crowds of Thebes.
16I will set fire to Egypt, Pelusium will writhe in anguish, Thebes will be split open, and Memphis will face daily distress. 17The young men of On and Pi-beseth will fall by the sword, and those cities will go into captivity.Cross References

Ezekiel 30:15 Summary
In Ezekiel 30:15, God says He will pour out His wrath on Pelusium, a stronghold of Egypt, and cut off the crowds of Thebes. This means that God is serious about judging sin and idolatry, just like He did in the past, as seen in Genesis 19:1-29. We can learn from this verse that God is a holy and just God who will not tolerate sin, and we need to surrender our strongholds to Him, as seen in 1 Peter 5:6-7. By trusting in God's sovereignty and judgment, we can find peace and security in Him, even in uncertain times, as seen in Psalm 46:1-11.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of Pelusium in Ezekiel 30:15?
Pelusium was a strategic stronghold of Egypt, and God's wrath being poured out on it signifies judgment on the entire nation, as seen in Ezekiel 30:15, similar to how God judged other nations in Isaiah 13:1-22.
Why does God say He will cut off the crowds of Thebes in Ezekiel 30:15?
Thebes was a major city in Egypt, and God's judgment on it would have been a significant blow to the nation's economy and culture, much like the judgment on Babylon in Jeremiah 51:1-64.
Is Ezekiel 30:15 still relevant today?
While the specific event described in Ezekiel 30:15 is historical, the principle of God's judgment on sin and idolatry remains relevant, as seen in Romans 1:18-32 and Revelation 20:11-15.
How does Ezekiel 30:15 relate to the rest of the Bible?
Ezekiel 30:15 is part of a larger narrative of God's judgment on nations that reject Him, a theme that is also seen in Isaiah 34:1-17 and Jeremiah 25:1-38, and ultimately points to the final judgment in Revelation 20:11-15.
Reflection Questions
- What are the strongholds in my life that God needs to pour out His wrath on, and how can I surrender them to Him?
- How can I learn to trust in God's sovereignty, even when faced with uncertainty and judgment, as seen in Ezekiel 30:15?
- What are the idols in my life that need to be destroyed, and how can I put my trust in the one true God, as seen in Ezekiel 30:13?
- How can I apply the principle of God's judgment on sin and idolatry in my own life, and what changes do I need to make to align myself with God's will?
Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 30:15
And I will pour out my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt,.... Either the city Sais, as the Septuagint and Arabic versions; or rather Pelusium, as the Vulgate Latin version, so called from "pelos"
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 30:15
And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 30:15
Will pour my fury: see . Sin; either Sain, or more likely Pelusium, which was a frontier, and secured the entrance of Egypt from the desert of Sin, was the key of Egypt, and therefore always well fortified and strongly garrisoned; it was called Damtiata. The strength of Egypt; one of the principal munitions of Egypt; for it was a good and large haven, and was strengthened with all needful fortifications. The multitude, or the riches and tumultuous noise which the multitudes thereof made. If we read as the margin, it is plain, God does threaten Pelusium after No is cut off; if we retain our own translation, we must think of another city of that name, which God threatens with Sin. Now this may be Thebe Egyptiacae or this city may be Hamon No, called Diospolis, the city of Jupiter; possibly it may be the same mentioned already, and the threat repeated to confirm it.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 30:15
Ezekiel 30:15 And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.Ver. 15. And I will pour my fury upon Sin.] Called afterwards Pelusium, and now Damiata. The strength of Egypt.] The key of the kingdom. Deserto Sinis nomen dedit.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 30:15
(15) Sin is Pelusium, so called from the marshes around it, on the easternmost branch of the Nile, only two-and-a-half miles from the sea. It was the frontier city, strongly fortified, and considered rightly as the key of Egypt, and hence called in the text its “strength.” It is mentioned again in Ezekiel 30:16. The expression, “distresses daily” (literally, by day), applied to Noph (Memphis), is a difficult one; it is understood by many as perpetually, but more probably means distresses in the open day. Its enemies shall make no covert attack, but come upon it boldly.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 30:15
Verse 15. My fury upon Sin] Pelusium, a strong city of Egypt, on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 30:15
15. Sin, called here the “bulwark of Egypt,” is usually identified with Pelusium, which lying on the N. E. frontier of the country might be considered the key to it. multitude of No] i.e. No-Amon (Nahum 3:8) or Thebes, the capital of Upper Egypt, Jeremiah 46:25.
Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 30:15
15. Sin — Supposed to be Pelusium. The Egyptian name for Pelusium has not yet been found, but the meaning of Sin in Hebrew corresponds exactly to that of Pelusium in Greek. This city guarded the northern entrance into Egypt.
