Exegesis
The construct kol ye’orei {כֹּל יְאֹרֵי | kōl yᵊ-ʾō-rê} ‘all the rivers’ expresses totality, paired with matzor {מָצוֹר | mā-ṣôr} ‘fortress’ used synecdochically for Egypt. The English rendering preserves Hebrew word order to reflect the speaker’s escalating boast.
Root and etymology
ts-w-rtsade–vav–resh
“fortress, siege”
In context — 2 Kings 19:24
I have dug wells and drunk foreign waters, and with the sole of my feet I have dried up all the rivers of Egypt.
