In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear by the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction—the establishment of Hebrew language and faith in Egyptian cities, suggesting the Egyptianization of Egyptians or their incorporation into the covenant people. The identification of one city as 'destruction' may refer to a city renamed or may indicate ironic redemption. This verse indicates the spread of monotheistic faith to Egypt.
