Isaiah 19:24 meaning and explanation

In that day Israel will join a three-party alliance with Egypt and Assyria—a blessing upon the earth.

Isaiah 19:24, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

Isaiah has just described a coming day when Egypt and Assyria, Israel's two great oppressors, will both turn to the LORD and worship him together (verses 21 to 23). Here Israel joins them as a third partner, and the whole group becomes "a blessing upon the earth." The Hebrew word for alliance suggests a blessing formula or covenant bond, echoing God's promise to Abraham that all nations would be blessed through his people.
