   Or, as Bp. Lowth renders, "stretched out in length and
   smoothed."  Egypt, which is situated between 24; degrees and 32
   degrees N. lat. and 30; degrees and 33; degrees E. long., being
   bounded on the south by Ethiopia, on the north by the
   Mediterranean, on the east by the mountains of Arabia, and on
   the west by those of Lybia, is one long vale, 750; miles in
   length, (through the middle of which runs the Nile,) in
   breadth from one to two or three day's journey, and even at
   the widest part of the Delta, from Pelusium to Alexandria, not
   above 250; miles broad.

 * to a people.

   recourse to mensuration in Egypt, in order to determine their
   boundaries, after the inundation of the Nile had smoothed
   their land and effaced their landmarks; and to their method of
   throwing seed upon the mud, when the waters had subsided, and
   treading it in by turning their cattle into the fields.

 * have spoiled.  or, despise.
