Pathros; Upper Egypt, the southern region of the Nile valley
Pathros designates Upper (southern) Egypt, derived from Egyptian p-tĕ-res meaning 'the southland.' It appears in prophetic literature always in connection with Egypt (mitsrayim), distinguishing the southern Nile region from Lower Egypt and the Delta. Isaiah 11:11 lists it among the lands of Israel's future regathering, while Ezekiel 29:14 calls it the ancestral homeland of Egypt. Jeremiah 44:1, 15 locates the Judean refugees there after the fall of Jerusalem.
