ישעיהו יט:יא פירוש: רש״י ואבן עזרא

How will you say from now on to Pharaoh, each one of you about himself, I am a son of the wise? Since he will fail because of your counsel, how will you boast before him to say, We are sons of the wise, O you who are a son of the kings of old.

חכמי פרעה, יעצי פרעה ═ חכמי יועצי פרעה The wise men of Pharaoh, the counsellors of Pharaoh.¹⁸A. V., The wise counsellors of Pharaoh. This is an elliptical expression; comp. נחרי נחלי דבש Rivers, brooks of honey¹⁹An ellipsis like this may be supposed, wherever two co-ordinate nouns govern one genitive; by here calling our attention to it, I. E. seems to reject the assumption that the second noun יעצי is a genitive governed by the first noun חכמי: the wise of the counsellors of Pharaoh. (Job 20:17).

נבערה Foolish.²⁰A. V., Is become brutish;. Comp. בער fool (Ps. 73:22).
