Strong’s Greek Lexicon
of uncertain derivation:—AEgyptus, the land of the Nile:—Egypt.
Owing to changes in the enumeration while in progress, there were no words left for numbers 2717 and 3203–3302, which were therefore silently dropped out of the vocabulary and references as redundant.

2) metaphorically Jerusalem, for the Jews persecuting the Christ and his
followers, and so to be likened to the Egyptians treating the Jews
