Berean Study Bible

He will gain control
This phrase indicates a future action of dominance and authority. The Hebrew root word for "gain control" is "mashal," which often implies ruling or having dominion. Historically, this reflects the actions of powerful leaders who sought to expand their empires through conquest and control. In the context of Daniel, it suggests a prophetic vision of a ruler who will exert significant influence over vast resources.

the treasures of gold and silver
Gold and silver have always been symbols of wealth and power. In ancient times, these metals were not only used as currency but also as a means to display opulence and influence. The Hebrew words "zahab" (gold) and "kesef" (silver) are frequently mentioned in the Bible, often in the context of God's blessings or the wealth of nations. This phrase underscores the immense wealth that the ruler will acquire, signifying both material prosperity and the ability to wield power.

and all the riches of Egypt
Egypt, known for its historical wealth and grandeur, was often seen as a land of abundance. The Hebrew word "chayil" for "riches" can also mean strength or resources, indicating not just material wealth but also the strategic advantage that comes with controlling such a prosperous region. Egypt's riches were legendary, and its inclusion here highlights the extent of the ruler's conquests.

with the Libyans and Cushites in submission
Libyans and Cushites represent regions to the west and south of Egypt, respectively. The Hebrew term "kush" refers to the area south of Egypt, often associated with modern-day Sudan. "Libya" in the biblical context refers to the lands west of Egypt. The phrase "in submission" suggests a complete subjugation of these peoples, indicating the ruler's expansive reach and the fulfillment of his ambitions. Historically, these regions were known for their own wealth and military prowess, making their submission a significant achievement.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(43) Libyans . . . Ethiopians.--These nations are specified as allies of Egypt. (See Ezekiel 30:5; Jeremiah 46:9.) They are represented as following the steps of the conqueror (comp. Exodus 11:8), and as submitting themselves to him.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 43. - But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. The rendering of the LXX. is somewhat fuller, "He shall have power over the place of gold and the place of silver, and over all the desire of Egypt, and Libyans and Ethiopians shall be in his multitude." The word translated "treasures" is a late one, but evidently the Septuagint translator had מקם (maqom) instead of מִכְמַנֵי. (michemanay). Theodotion renders, "And he shall have power over the secret hoards of gold and silver, and over all the desirable things of Egypt, and of Libyans, and of AEthiopians in their fortresses." Theodotion has read מצוריו (metzorayo) instead of מִצְעָדָיו (mitz'adoyo). The Peshitta rendering is, "And he shall have power over the house of the treasures of gold and silver, and of the pleasant things of Egypt, and the Libyans, and the Cushites (Ethiopians) are his allies." The Vulgate follows a slightly different rendering, "And he shall rule the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; through Libya and AEthiopia, too, shall he pass." Having a different reading in the last clause from the Massoretic, the natural Hebrew equivalent for transibit is יַעְבֹר (ya'bor) - a word that could scarcelv arise by mistake from that in the text. He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silcer, and over all the precious things of Egypt. Strictly speaking, this never was the case, as Antiochus never wholly conquered Egypt, although in that expedition, in which he had laid siege to Alexandria, he came very near completing his conquest. And the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall beat his steps. This certainly is not true in the sense in which Jerome takes it, "he shall pass through Libya and Ethiopia." Though Antiochus more than once invaded Egypt, he never passed further into Africa. These nationalities are associated with each other; e.g. in Jeremiah 46:8, 9, we have, "The Ethiopians and the Libyans that handle the shield." So in Ezekiel 30:5 we have the countries spoken of together. It may merely mean that individuals belonging to these nationalities had joined his armies. This is altogether a more ornate and poetical passage than the rest of this chapter, and gives the feeling of a different hand; therefore, probably, it belongs to a time nearer that of Daniel, and contains more of the original prophecy. Professor Fuller remarks on a reference being made to the help Ptolemy received from Cyprus. Cyprus, or Chittim, is referred to in the earlier part of this chapter, but not here. The Lubim and Cushim are contemporary with Edom, Moab, and the sons of Ammon.
