# from the land of Egypt

This refers to her prostitution as beginning in Egypt. AT: "which you began in the land of Egypt" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

# You will not lift up your eyes toward them with longing

This is a way to refer to a person turning their head to look at something. Here looking represents desire. AT: "You will not look toward them with longing" or "You will not desire these things" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# you will think of Egypt no longer
