Egypt’s commanders shout: “Shields up, both large and small! Onward to battle!
I see them prepare the table and spread their rugs, then they eat and they drink. Get up, you military officers! Anoint your shields for battle!
“Tell this throughout Egypt; proclaim it in the cities of Migdol, Memphis, and Tahpanhes. Say to them, ‘Stand your ground, grab your weapons, for the war will destroy everything around you.’
