1165、在圣言中，“麦西”或埃及表示记忆知识，或各种事实，人们想利用它们来探究信的奥秘，从而证实以这种方式所获得的错误假设或虚假原则。“麦西”也表示简单的记忆知识，因而表示有用的知识。这一点不仅从刚才所引用的经文，还从其它众多经文清楚看出来，若全部引用，必占满整个篇幅（参看以赛亚书19章；30:1，2，3；31:1，2，3；耶利米书2:18，36；42:14至末尾；46章；以西结书16:26；23:3；29章；30章；何西阿书7:11；9:3，6；11:1，5，11；弥迦书7:12；撒迦利亚书10:10-11；诗篇80:8等）。

[NCE]1165. In the Word, Mizraim (Egypt) symbolizes the various kinds of secular knowledge or facts we attempt to use in examining the secrets of faith and justifying the false principles that result. In addition it simply symbolizes secular knowledge, which is useful. These meanings are visible not only from the passages already quoted but also from many others, which would fill whole pages if they were all to be quoted. See Isaiah 19; 30:1, 2, 3; 31:1, 2, 3; Jeremiah 2:18, 36; 42:14-end; 46; Ezekiel 16:26; 23:3; 29; 30; Hosea 7:11; 9:3, 6; 11:1, 5, 11; Micah 7:12; Zechariah 10:10-11; Psalms 80:8 and following verses.

1165. That by "Mizraim," or "Egypt," in the Word, are signified the memory-knowledges (that is, the various matters of memory) wherewith men desire to explore the secrets of faith, and to confirm the principles of falsity thereby conceived; and that it also signifies simply memory-knowledges, thus such as are useful, is evident not only from the passages already adduced, but from very many others also, which, if all cited, would fill pages. (See Isa. 19:1 to the end; 30:1-3; 31:1-3; Jer. 2:18, 36; 42:14 to the end; 46:1 to the end; Ezek. 16:26; 23:3, 8; 29:1 to the end; 30:1 to the end; Hos. 7:11; 9:3, 6; 11:1, 5, 11; Micah 7:5; Zech. 10:10-11; Ps. 80:8 and following verses.)
Elliott(1983-1999) 1165
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.

1165. Quod per 'Mizraim seu Aegyptum' significentur in Verbo scientiae, seu varia scientifica, per quae explorare volunt arcana fidei et principia falsi inde capta confirmant, tum etiam simpliciter scientiae ita quae utiles, constat non solum a locis nunc allatis, sed etiam a permultis aliis, quae omnia si adducerentur, paginas implerent; videantur Esai. xix 1 ad fin.; xxx 1-3; xxxi 1-3;Jer. ii 18, 36; xlii 14 ad fin.; xlvi 1 ad fin.; Ezech. xvi 26; xxiii (x)3; xxix 1 ad fin.; xxx 1 ad fin.; Hos. vii 11; ix 3, 6; xi 1, 5, 11; Mich. vii 12; Zach. x 10, 11; Ps.lxxx 9 [A.V. 8] seq.
