Isa 19:19 In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.
"...will be monuments memorialising the fact that the Lord has conquered and possessed Egypt, just as He did Canaan by Joshua and his people in the days of old. And Egypt will be united with Israel in the worship and service of Jehovah, just as really as the trans-Jordanic tribes of Joshua’s day were with their brethren west of the river."
