46:25-26 Amon was a fertility god worshiped in Thebes, the capital of Southern Egypt. Amon’s idol, in the form of a ram, represented the sun. The Egyptians thought that this god was very powerful, but like all the other deities of Egypt, it would be destroyed by the all-powerful God of Israel. The Pharaoh, who claimed to be the son of the sun-god, would suffer the same fate. • the land will recover: In 601 BC, Nebuchadnezzar attacked Egypt, did great damage, and then withdrew. He invaded the land again in 568–567 BC (43:8-13; Ezek 29:19).
