Albert Barnes' Bible Commentary

Daniel 11:42

He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries - Margin, send forth. Significant of war and conquest. The idea is, that he would be an invader of foreign lands - a characteristic which it is not necessary to show pertained to Antiochus.

And the land of Egypt shall not escape - Moab and Edom, and the land of Ammon would escape, but Egypt would not. We have seen in the exposition of this chapter (see the notes at Daniel 11:25) that he, in fact, subdued Memphis and the best portions of Egypt, and even obtained possession of the person of the king.
