# Cush and Egypt were her strength "Ethiopia and Egypt strengthened her" or "Cush and Egypt were her allies" # there was no end to it The word "it" refers to the "strength" that Cush and Egypt gave to Thebes. That there was no end to it is a hyperbole that expresses the great amount of strength. Alternate translation: "their strength was very great" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-hyperbole]]) # Put and Libya These are the names of places in northern Africa that were close to Thebes.
