Exegesis
The construct chain yeorei matzor {יְאֹרֵי מָצ֑וֹר | yə-ʾō-rê mā-ṣōr} ‘canals of Egypt’ narrows the focus from general rivers to Egypt’s irrigation network, implying economic and agricultural ruin.
In context — Isaiah 19:6
The rivers will reek, and the canals of Egypt will dwindle and dry up; the reeds and rushes will wither.
