Talmud zu Jeschijahu 31:3
וּמִצְרַ֤יִם אָדָם֙ וְֽלֹא־אֵ֔ל וְסוּסֵיהֶ֥ם בָּשָׂ֖ר וְלֹא־ר֑וּחַ וַֽיהוָ֞ה יַטֶּ֣ה יָד֗וֹ וְכָשַׁ֤ל עוֹזֵר֙ וְנָפַ֣ל עָזֻ֔ר וְיַחְדָּ֖ו כֻּלָּ֥ם יִכְלָיֽוּן׃ (ס)
Denn Ägypten ist nur Mensch und nicht Gott, ihre Rosse Fleisch und nicht Geist; der Herr streckt aus seine Hand, und es strauchelt der Stützende und fällt der Gestützte, sie alle gehen insgesamt unter.
Jerusalem Talmud Sukkah
Rebbi Simeon ben Yoḥai said, at three places were Israel warned not to return to the land of Egypt, [as it is written:] for as you saw Egypt today you shall nevermore see them for ever31Ex. 14:14.. And the Eternal said to you, you shall never again return on this way32Deut. 17:10.. And the Eternal will bring you back to Egypt on ships33Deut. 28:68.. In all three cases they returned and in all three cases they fell. One in the days of Sanherib the king of Assyria, [as it is written]: woe on those who descend to Egypt for help34Is. 31:3.. What is written after this? But Egypt is human and not god, and their horses are flesh, etc34Is. 31:3.. And one in the days of Joḥanan the son of the bald; it shall be that the sword which you are fearing, there will reach you35Is. 31:3.. And once in the days of the evil Trajanus.
