Isaiah 19:21

Isaiah 19:21

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

The Lord shall be known; rather, shall make himself known, as in , ; by answering prayer, by spiritual influences, and the like. The Egyptians shall know the Lord (comp. , "They shall all know me from the least of them unto the greatest").

And shall do sacrifice and oblation; rather, shall serve with sacrifice and oblation. The bulk of the Jews settled in Egypt, together with their Egyptian proselytes, went up year by year to worship Jehovah at Jerusalem, and make offerings to him there (see ).

Christian Egypt worshipped God with sacrifice and oblation in the same sense as the rest of the Church ().
