Excerpt from Exodus With Introduction, Commentary, and Special Notes, Etc, Vol. 1
Delta land is a gift of the Nile. In truth all Egypt is a gift of the Nile. The land is an oasis of the African desert, very strangely formed in that, while more than 600 miles long, between Ethiopia and the Mediterranean, it has above the Delta an average breadth of scarcely a hundredth part Of that number of miles. It thus is like a very long narrow strip of green ribbon, stretching across that desert of sand, and shingle, and broken ground which in places is like mountains; in all which extent the River is as a silver thread, wrought into that variegated green by the Creator of Aholiab and his embroiderers.
The land, if not in all places beautiful, is very rich. It has in all ages been proverbially a granary of the world.' There is com in Egypt, was the cry of famine-stricken Shemites beyond its border long before the beginning of the Greek heroic ages, a millennium before Homer sang the song Of Troy divine. And all through the ages of its being and wealth, Egypt has been a gift of the Nile.
