The purpose of this study is to investigate the Old Testament writers’ image of Egypt as reflected by the whole history. In ancient times, very unique natural geographical borders effectively isolated Egypt from the rest of the Near East, thereby favoring the uninterrupted development of the civilization distinctive to the Egyptians, generally undisturbed by foreign invasions. Blessed with a stable climate and extremely fertile lands, regularly watered by the river Nile, the Egyptians developed a rich agricultural economy, producing many kinds of wheats and fruits. For this reasons, Egypt became the granary of the ancient near east, especially in times of famine. The people of the Old Testament times often presents Egypt as a place of fertile land, but the picture is not monolithic. Upon closer examination, we find many figures fleeing to Egypt as a place of refuge for a number of prominent biblical individuals. But the Old Testament writers’ image of Egypt conflict with the dominant people’s image of Egypt as a “fertile land” or as a “place of refuge.” They reported as follow.
First, the Old Testament writers are clearly recognized that Egypt is a land of abundance. But they always reported the Egypt as the fertile land of negative meaning that lead to destruction.
Second, the Old Testament writers are also recognized that Egypt is a land of refuge. But they see adversaries of Israel successfully use Egypt as a place of refuge as they move from criminality to centrality again. However the prophet of God(ex. Uriah, Jer 26:20) also attempts to make Egypt a refuge, finally his efforts fail. So the Old Testament writers did not portray the Egypt as the place of refuge, but portrayed negative place to the people of YHWH.
Third, the Old Testament writers, especially the prophets of YHWH, portrayed the image of Egypt as an enemy, and as a defeated one. So they said to all the people of Isarel “Do not rely on Egypt, only God you serve.”
Through the above investigation, this study concludes that the Old Testament writers are overwhelming its negative image to Egypt, and constantly denying the folly of relying on Egypt.
