ישעיהו מג:ג פירוש: רש״י ואבן עזרא

I have given Egypt as your ransom And they were your ransom, for their firstborn died, and you, My firstborn son, although you were deserving of destruction, as it is said in Ezekiel (20:8): “And I thought to pour out My fury upon them...in the land of Egypt.”

I gave Egypt for thy ransom. The Egyptians shall be afflicted by the kings of Media.²Media is here identical with Media and Persia. Kambyses, king of Persia, conquered Egypt 625 B.C.
