Mitsraim

The name Mitsraim for Egypt is spelled מצרים mṣrym, a plural. As usual, there’s no good official explanation what this is supposed to mean. One explanation is “walls” or “bounds”, as Egypt is said to have 2 walls.

The grammar is actually m-ṣr-ym. The prefix m- is a nominalization form in Semitic & Egyptian, and -ym is the Semitic plural. The underlying root is צר ṣr for “boundary”, “bond” & “binding”. This was also an Egyptian word, 𓇥 ḏr, again for “binding” & “boundaries”, written with a “bundle” glyph.

But one very important derivation of מצר mṣr for “binding” is מצר mṣr for “bound people”, a derogatory term used for slaves. Since Mitsraim is one of those unexplained plurals, that very word even means “slaves”, in general plural.

We can thus surmise that the Mitsraim in the Books Genesis & Exodus, the Mitsraim that is first scammed into debt-thralldom, and then ravaged & plundered by the Hebrews as they leave, this Mitsraim does not represent Egypt in the punny spook narrative. This Mitsraim represents us, “the slaves”, and is literally written that way, to the last letter.

Don’t get me wrong: The literal story is very inspiring. The Hebrews are depicted as the oppressed little guys, and the then-superpower Egypt is rightfully styled as one main oppressor of the time. Retelling Exodus today would be like, say, the Native American tribes banding together, plundering the vaults of Merrill Lynch & JPMorgan Chase, and then setting off to some Caribbean island paradise, while the US carriers & destroyers that are chasing them on behalf of the banksters crash into each other & sink, because the heroes have rigged the controls. I’d love to read that story, wouldn’t you?

But tales like this never seem to have happened in history. Pretty much all revolutions are revealed on closer inspection as spook-enacted frauds. Ancient Egypt had colonies, connections, spies & moles all over the Fertile Crescent. It could never be defeated or escaped like in the story. The Egyptian elites were also not enemies of the ancient spooks. They were proto-spooks themselves at the very least, as evidenced by their own spooky punnery. The Books Genesis & Exodus also include no details at all about Egypt. Except for the words Mitsraim & Pharaoh, the story could take place anywhere on earth.

More text research is needed here. But judging from spooky punnery in general, and the non-specifics of the Biblical Mitsraim, I’d suggest that the name is simply punny-speak for “the slaves” to be tricked. And that’s us.
