1165. In the Word 'Mizraim' or Egypt means knowledge, that is, various facts, by which people wish to probe into the arcana of faith and so confirm the false assumptions acquired in that way. 'Mizraim' also means simply knowledge, and so knowledge that is useful. This is clear not only from the places just quoted but also from very many others which would fill up page after page if they were all included. See Isa 19:1-end; 30:1-3; 31:1- 3; Jer 2:18, 36; 42:14-end; 46:1-end; Ezek 16:26; 23:3; 29:1-end; 30:1-end; Hosea 7:11; 9:3, 6; 11:1, 5, 11; Micah 7:12; Zech 10:10, 11; Ps 80:8 and following verses.
