Get a full Reformed explanation of this passage

Egypt, also called the land of Ham, was Israel’s place of bondage and the setting of God’s mighty acts, including judgments associated with Zoan, an Egyptian royal center. Shiloh was the earlier sanctuary in Ephraim, but Psalm 78:68 contrasts its rejection with God’s choice of Mount Zion in Judah as the place linked with David’s kingship.
