Exegesis
Finally, the construct phrase pinnat shevateha {פִּנַּת שְׁבָטֶיהָ | pinnat-šəḇāṭêhā} ‘corner of her tribes’ functions as a metaphorical merism for the nation’s foundational leaders, who instead precipitate its undoing.
In context — Isaiah 19:13
The princes of Zoan have acted foolishly, the princes of Noph have been deceived; they have led Egypt astray, the corner of her tribes.
