Rahab (2)

VIEW:15 DATA:01-04-2020

("insolence".) A poetical name for Egypt (Isa_51:9). In Isa_30:7 De Dieu translated "I called her Arrogance (Rahab) that sitteth still." She who boasted of the help she would give, when put to the test, sat still (Isa_36:6). Psa_87:4-5; Psa_89:10, "Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain." Egypt is put foremost, as first of the great world powers that opposed God. She was reduced to corpse-like helplessness By God's stroke at the Red Sea, and at the slaying of the firstborn previously. (compare Psa_74:13-14). Rahab occurs in the Hebrew, Job_9:13; Job_26:12.
