thou: Jeremiah 48:18

furnish thyself to go into captivity: Heb. make thee instruments of captivity, Isaiah 20:4, Ezekiel 12:3, *marg. Ezekiel 12:4-12

Noph: Noph, or Moph, is the celebrated city of Memphis, as the Chaldee and LXX render; long the residence of the ancient Egyptian kings, and situated fifteen miles above where the Delta begins, on the western side of the Nile. It was in the neighbourhood of Memphis that the famous pyramids were erected, whose grandeur and beauty still astonish the modern traveller: they are about twenty in number; the largest of which is 481 feet perpendicular height, and the area of its basis is on 480,249 square feet, or something more than eleven acres, being exactly the size of Lincoln's Inn Fields in London. The immense ruins between the northern and southern pyramids, and about fourteen miles from Cairo, still called Memf, Menf, or Menouf, seem to mark the site of this city. Jeremiah 44:1, Ezekiel 30:13

waste: Jeremiah 26:9, Jeremiah 34:22, Jeremiah 51:29, Jeremiah 51:30, Zephaniah 2:5

Reciprocal: Isaiah 19:13 - Noph Jeremiah 2:16 - Noph Jeremiah 46:24 - daughter Jeremiah 48:9 - the cities Ezekiel 29:12 - and I will scatter

Gill's Notes on the Bible

O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt,.... That is, O ye inhabitants of Egypt, that have long dwelt there, in great security, enjoying great plenty, and who promised themselves a long continuance:

furnish thyself to go into captivity; or, "make", or "prepare for thyself vessels of captivity" y; or such things as are proper for captives, as suitable clothes to travel in, shoes to walk in, scrip and staff, and the like; expect captivity, and prepare for it:

for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant; the city Memphis, as the Targum, and all the versions: this is particularly mentioned, because it was a royal city, as Kimchi observes; and, though a very populous one, its destruction should be so general, that not an inhabitant should be left in it: the devastation of this city is put for that of all the rest, and as a sure token of it and the whole nation going into captivity.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Literally, “O thou inhabitant daughter of Egypt,” an equivalent here for Egypt and its whole population.

Furnish thyself ... - literally, make for thee vessels of banishment, not merely the packages necessary, but their outfit generally.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 46:19. Furnish thyself to go into captivity — The thing is unavoidable; prepare for this calamity.
