"And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments upon No." — Ezekiel 30:14 (ASV)
Pathros, Zoan, and No: For Pathros, see Note on Ezekiel 29:14. Zoan (Isaiah 19:11) is Tanis, a city of Lower Egypt, on the Tanitic branch of the Nile. No, mentioned again in the next verse, and more fully written as No-Amon (Nahum 3:8), is the celebrated Thebes of Upper Egypt, still famous for its ruins at Luxor and Karnak. The mention of these various cities is to emphasize the universality of the judgment upon the whole land.
