Meaning: Egypt; a prominent ancient civilization located in the northeastern corner of Africa, known for its rich history, culture, and interactions with the Israelites.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H4714 מִצְרַיִם (Mitsrayim): The Hebrew name for Egypt, often used in the Old Testament to describe the nation and its people. • H4693 מִצְרִי (Mitsri): An Egyptian, referring to the inhabitants of Egypt. These entries highlight the multifaceted role of Egypt in biblical history, serving as a backdrop for significant events and theological themes. Usage: The term Αἴγυπτος is used in the New Testament to refer to the land of Egypt. It appears in various contexts, often highlighting Egypt's role in biblical history as a place of refuge, bondage, and prophecy. Context: Αἴγυπτος, or Egypt, is a significant geographical and historical location in the biblical narrative. It is frequently mentioned in both the Old and New Testaments. In the Old Testament, Egypt is the land where the Israelites were enslaved for centuries before their exodus under Moses' leadership. This event is pivotal in Israelite history, symbolizing deliverance and God's faithfulness. In the New Testament, Egypt is noted as the place where Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus sought refuge from King Herod's decree to kill all male infants in Bethlehem (Matthew 2:13-15, BSB: "Get up... take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt"). This fulfilled the prophecy, "Out of Egypt I called My Son" (Hosea 11:1). Egypt also serves as a symbol of worldly power and idolatry, often contrasted with the spiritual journey and covenant relationship between God and His people. Despite its historical role as a place of oppression, Egypt is also depicted as a place of refuge and sustenance during times of famine, as seen in the story of Joseph and his brothers (Genesis 41-47). Theologically, Egypt represents both a literal and metaphorical place of trial and testing, as well as a backdrop for God's redemptive acts. Its mention in the New Testament underscores the continuity of God's salvific plan from the Old Testament to the New Testament era.
