Hebrew for "princes shall come out of Egypt" (Psalms 68:31); rich nobles, whence the Maccabees took their name Asmonaeans. The Egyptian civil name of Hermopolis Magna was Hashmen. The idol of wisdom, Hermes, Thoth, gave his name to the city; thus the derived term Hashmannim means "wisest Egyptian princes." These as well as distant Ethiopians shall turn to the true God.
