מִצְרַ֫יִם₆₈₁ proper name, of a territory and people, feminine^{Exodus 10:7}, masculine^{Exodus 12:33},

2), Egypt, Egyptians (Phoenician מצרם; Assyrian Mªƒªr(u), Muƒ Ruth , Miƒir, Dl^{Par 308} Schr^{COT Glossary KGF 246 ff.}, Tel Amarna Miƒrî, Wkl^{TA 39 *} Bez^{BM 152, and} Mašrî Wkl^l.c.; Arabic Cairo, Egypt (Spiro): Minean Miƒru Hom^{A and A. (1892), 125}; see Eb^{ÄgM 71ff.}; ᵐ5 Αιγυπτος; — derivatives and form dubious; יִַ֯ם usually regarded as dual term. (Upper and Lower Egypt? compare Di^{Genesis 10:6}), but as locative ending EMey^{Geschichte. I, § 42} Ba^{NB p. 319 R. 5}; Jen^{ZA iv (1889), 268 ff.} thinks מִצְרַיִם absolute formed by analogy of מַיִם, שָׁמַיִם from Miƒrî (compare Tel Amarna); see further Wkl^{infra, near the end}); — ׳מ Genesis 13:1 +; מִצְרָ֑יִם Genesis 37:36 +; מִצְרַיְמָה Genesis 12:10 12t., מִצְרָ֑יְמָה Genesis 12:11 14t.; —

1. a. of land, Egypt Genesis 13:1 500t., +, in all periods, including ׳אֶרֶץ מ Genesis 13:10 + approximately 220t. (of course feminine, Genesis 47:6,13); ׳אַדְמַת מ the soil of Egypt Genesis 47:20,26; ׳מֵימֵי מ Exodus 7:19; Exodus 8:2; ׳נְהַר מ Genesis 15:18; ׳יְאֹר מ Amos 8:8; Amos 9:5; ׳יְאֹרֵי מ Isaiah 7:18 (compare מָצוֺר); ׳שִׁיחוֺר מ 1 Chronicles 13:5; לְשׁוֺן׳יָםמֿ Isaiah 11:15; ׳נַחַל מ Joshua 15:4 6t. (see these various words); land as productive Genesis 45:20; Genesis 49:23, compare ׳שֵׁשׁ בְּרִקְמָה מִמּ Ezekiel 27:7, ׳אֵטוּן מ Proverbs 7:16; often "" בּוּשׁ, especially in prophets and poetry Isaiah 20:3,4,5; Isaiah 45:14; Ezekiel 30:4,9 +; "" אַשּׁוּר Hosea 11:11; Hosea 12:1; Isaiah 7:18; Jeremiah 2:18 +; including Upper Egypt (מַּתְרוֺם), as well as Lower, Jeremiah 44:1, compare Ezekiel 29:10; Ezekiel 30:6; apparently distinguished from Upper Egypt Isaiah 11:11, and possibly also Jeremiah 44:15 (compare Gf Gie Buhl SS Che^{Hpt Isaiah}); but פתרוס etc. in these verses somewhat dubious (compare B. Du Gie).

b. combinations are:-1׳מ as limit of motion: יָדַד מצרימ(הׅ 2. of people:

a. in table of nations, personified as second son of Ham Genesis 10:6 = 1 Chronicles 1:8, compare Genesis 10:13 = 1 Chronicles 1:11.

b. = Egypt (as a people), Egyptians Genesis 41:56 + approximately 134t., including use = Egyptian Kingdom, empire, i.e. land and people as political power; so with verb feminine singular ׳אָֽבְדָה מ Exodus 10:7, compare Hosea 9:6; Joel 4:19 and (pronoun feminine singular) Ezekiel 30:18; with verb masculine singular Exodus 12:33; Exodus 14:25; Isaiah 19:16,23,25; Jeremiah 46:8; often with verb masculine plural Genesis 41:55; Isaiah 19:21,23 22t.; ׳בִּנֵי מ Ezekiel 16:26; ׳בְּתוּלַת בַּת מ Jeremiah 46:11, compare Jeremiah 46:19; Jeremiah 46:24. — In 1 Kings 10:28 2 Chronicles 1:16,17; 2 Kings 7:6 Wkl^{Alttest. Unters. 171f.} thinks of Assyrian Muƒri in North Syria. (On מִצְרַיִם as often = Muƒri in North Arabia see Wkl^{Altor. Unters. i. 24ff., ii. 195, iii. 289; iv. 337 f; MVG 1898,1.4}).

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

מִצְרַיִם pr.n. dual, Egypt, Genesis 46:34, 50:11 often more fully, אֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם the land of Egypt, fem., Genesis 45:20, 47:6, 13 Genesis 47:13 also the Egyptians; commonly in prose writers with a pl. (Genesis 45:2, 47:15, 20 Genesis 47:20, 50:3 Exodus 1:14), rarely with a sing. masc., 14:25, 31 Exodus 14:31 poet. with sing. masc., Isaiah 19:16, 25 Isaiah 19:25; Jeremiah 46:8 and f., Hosea 9:6. Singular מָצוֹר (which see), lower Egypt; both this and the upper, (called by its particular name פַּתָרוֹס), seem to have been denoted by zeugma, by the dual מִצְרַיִם; like the two Sicilies used for Sicily and Naples; although this origin being afterwards neglected, the dual מִצְרַיִם is also found when it does not include Pathros (Isaiah 11:11; Jeremiah 44:15). Others refer the dual form to the land being divided in two by the Nile. [But this country had its name from Mizraim a son of Ham.] (In Arab. there is the sing. مِصْرُ Egypt, pr. boundary; in Syriac, however, there is the dual, although of very rare occurrence in that language ܡܶܨܪܝܶܢ). The Gent. noun is מִצְרִי Genesis 39:1 f. ־ִית 16:1 plur. m. מִצְרִים Genesis 12:12, 14 Genesis 12:14 f. ־ִיּוֹת Exodus 1:19.
