The following quotation is provided concerning Egypt, namely: " EGYPT.… History The numerous Egyptian Pharaohs were divided by the ancient historian Manetho into thirty dynasties. Despite certain difficulties, Manetho's scheme is still used and provides a framework for a review of Egyptian history. The unification of originally separate kingdoms of upper and lower Egypt about 3100 B.C. began the Archaic Period (First and Second Dynasties). Egypt's first period of glory, the Third through Sixth Dynasties of the Old Kingdom (2700-2200 B.C.) produced the famous pyramids. Low Nile innundations, the resultant bad harvests, and incursions of Asiatics in the Delta region brought the political chaos of the Seventh through Tenth Dynasties, called the First Intermediate Period (2200-2040 B.C.). Following a civil war, the Eleventh Dynasty reunited Egypt and began the Middle Kingdom (2040-1786 B.C.). Under the able Pharaohs of the Twelfth Dynasty, Egypt prospered and conducted extensive trade. From the Middle Kingdom onward, Egyptian history is contemporary with biblical events. Abraham's brief sojourn in Egypt (Gen. 12:10-20) during this period may be understood in light of a tomb painting at Ben Hasan showing visiting Asiatics in Egypt about 1900 B.C. Under the weak Thirteenth Dynasty, Egypt entered another period of division. Asiatics, mostly Semites like the Hebrews, migrated into the Delta region of Egypt and began to establish indepenent enclaves, eventually consolidating rule over Lower Egypt. These Pharaohs, being Asiatics rather than native Egyptians, were remembered as Hyksos, or ' rulers of foreign lands. '"1 The anonymous writer of Psalm 135 references Egypt ( see verse eight ) in the context of the tenth and final plague on Pharaoh ( see Exodus 12:29-32, for example ), which was the death of the firstborn of the people of Egypt and their livestock.

God is worthy to be praised. He will deliver His covenant people from their enemies. In 2 Timothy 3:10, 22, it is written, " 10 p You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, 11 my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me q at Antioch, r at Iconium, and s at Lystra — which perseuctions I endured; yet t from them all u the Lord rescued me " ( Emphasis mine, R.E.W. ).
God does what He pleases ( see Psalm 135:6, for example ). He is the Creator of all things ( see Ephesians 3:9, for example ). God is above all gods ( see Psalm 135:5, for example ).
Israel is the LORD's own possession ( see Psalm 135:4, for example ). The LORD's name endures forever ( see Psalm 135:13, for example ). Please seek and read from the book of the LORD ( see Isaiah 34:16, for example ).
