This phrase is a rhetorical question posed by God through the prophet Ezekiel. The Hebrew root for "surpass" is "עָבַר" (avar), which means to pass over or to excel. In the context of Ezekiel, this question is directed towards Egypt, a nation known for its grandeur and splendor. Historically, Egypt was renowned for its architectural marvels, wealth, and cultural achievements. However, this question challenges Egypt's pride and self-perception, reminding them that their earthly beauty and achievements are insignificant in the face of divine judgment. It serves as a humbling reminder that no nation or individual can boast of their beauty or accomplishments before God, who is the ultimate judge of all.
