Pharaoh king of Egypt
The term "Pharaoh" is derived from the Egyptian word "per-aa," meaning "great house," which originally referred to the royal palace but later became synonymous with the ruler himself. In the context of Jeremiah, Pharaoh represents the epitome of earthly power and authority, often seen as a symbol of opposition to God's will. Historically, Egypt was a dominant force in the ancient Near East, and its kings were often involved in the political and military affairs of Israel and Judah. The mention of Pharaoh here underscores the futility of relying on human power and alliances instead of trusting in God.

his officials
The Hebrew word for "officials" is "sarim," which can also be translated as "princes" or "rulers." These were the high-ranking members of Pharaoh's court, responsible for advising the king and executing his commands. In the biblical narrative, officials often play crucial roles in the administration of justice and governance. Their inclusion in this verse highlights the comprehensive nature of God's judgment, extending beyond the king to those who support and uphold his rule.

his leaders
The term "leaders" in Hebrew is "melek," which can also mean "kings" or "chiefs." This phrase may refer to the military commanders or regional governors under Pharaoh's authority. In ancient Egypt, these leaders were instrumental in maintaining the stability and security of the kingdom. The mention of leaders emphasizes that no position of power is exempt from accountability before God. It serves as a reminder that leadership carries with it a responsibility to act justly and in accordance with divine principles.

and all his people
The phrase "all his people" encompasses the entire population of Egypt, from the highest to the lowest. In the biblical context, this reflects the collective nature of national identity and responsibility. The people of Egypt, like those of any nation, were subject to the consequences of their leaders' actions and decisions. This inclusion serves as a sobering reminder of the widespread impact of sin and the universal need for repentance and alignment with God's will. It also underscores the theme of divine justice, which is impartial and all-encompassing.

(19) Pharaoh king of Egypt . . .--The list of the nations begins, it will be seen, from the south and proceeds northwards; those that lay on the east and west being named, as it were, literally, according to their position. The Pharaoh of the time was Nechoh, who had been defeated at Carchemish.

Verse 19. - Pharaoh king of Egypt. After leaving Judah and Jerusalem, the prophet turns to the far south - to Egypt; then he ascends to the south-east (Uz), and the south-west (the Philistines); thence he passes to the east (Edom, Moab, Ammon); and thence to the west of the Holy Land (Phoenicia). This suggests the maritime lands "beyond the sea" (including especially Cyprus); a sudden transition brings the prophet to the Arabian tribes (Dedan, etc.), from whence he passes by the road of the northeast (Elam, Media) to the indefinitely distant north. Last of all, in solitary grandeur or infamy, Babylon is mentioned.
