Ezekiel 27:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 27:3

Lamentation for Tyre

1 The word of the Lord came again to me, saying,

2 “Now, son of man, ^atake up a lamentation for Tyre,

3 and say to Tyre, ^a‘You who are situated at the entrance of the sea, ^bmerchant of the peoples on many coastlands, thus says the Lord God:
“O Tyre, you have said,
^c‘I am perfect in beauty.’

4 Your borders are in the midst of the seas.
Your builders have perfected your beauty.

5 They¹ made all your planks of fir trees from ^aSenir;
They took a cedar from Lebanon to make you a mast.

6 Of ^aoaks from Bashan they made your oars;
The company of Ashurites have inlaid your planks
With ivory from ^bthe coasts of Cyprus.

7 Fine embroidered linen from Egypt was what you spread for your sail;
Blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah was what covered you.
