Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 27:15
15. Dedan—near the Persian Sea: thus an avenue to the commerce of India. Not the Dedan in Arabia (Ezekiel 27:20), as the names in the context here prove, but the Dedan sprung from Cush [BOCHART], (Genesis 10:7). merchandise of thine hand—that is, were dependent on thee for trade [FAIRBAIRN]; came to buy the produce of thy hands [GROTIUS]. a present—literally, "a reward in return"; a price paid for merchandise. horns of ivory—Ivory is so termed from its resemblance to horns. The Hebrew word for... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 27:12-24
The extent of Tyre’s commercial empire 27:12-24This section is a valuable resource for understanding the geography, natural resources, and trade relations of the ancient Near East as well as explaining the extensiveness of Tyre’s commercial empire.

The Bible Knowledge Commentary: Old Testament also has a chart of "Tyre’s Trading Partners" listed in Ezekiel... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 27:14-15
The people of Beth-togarmah (Armenia) gave mules and horses, including war horses, for Tyre’s wares. The Dedanites, who lived in Arabia along the Persian Gulf or the Gulf of Aqabah, also traded with Tyre and paid for their merchandise with ivory tusks and ebony. Some translators followed the Septuagint here and replaced Dedan with Rhodes, a Greek Aegean port, because the change only involves repointing the Hebrew word and because Dedan appears again in Ezekiel 27:20. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 27:1-36
The Wreck of the gallant ShipUnder the figure of a ship, splendidly equipped, fully manned, and richly laden, but steered into stormy waters and wrecked, Ezekiel describes the fall of Tyre.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 27:15
(15) Dedan.—This Dedan is a descendant of Ham through Cush (Genesis 10:7). The tribe was located in Arabia, probably upon the shores of the Persian Gulf (Isaiah 21:13). The Dedan of Ezekiel 27:20, on the other hand, is a Semitic tribe, spoken of also in Ezekiel 25:13; Jeremiah 49:8. The “many isles” of this Dedan were the islands in the Persian Gulf, on the Arabian coast, and they were “merchandise” in the sense of supplying material for the commerce of Tyre. “Brought thee for a present” might... read more

Ezekiel 27:17 'That is a remarkable verse, which I once met on a remarkable occasion, that I would also refer you to Ezekiel 27:17 . Tyrus may buy Judah's finest wheat; yea, her balm, and oil, and honey. What is the meaning of this? You would know what part of the parcel properly belonged to yourself.' So Erskine of Linlathen once wrote to Lady Elgin, cautioning her against hastily crediting supernatural visions and voices which appeared to possess Divine authority and insight, on the ground... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 27:1-36
TYRE (CONTINUED): SIDONEzekiel 27:1-36; Ezekiel 28:1-26THE remaining oracles on Tyre (chapters 27, Ezekiel 28:1-19) are somewhat different both in subject and mode of treatment from the chapter we have just finished. Chapter 26 is in the main a direct announcement of the fall of Tyre, delivered in the oratorical style which is the usual vehicle of prophetic address. She is regarded as a state occupying a definite place among the other states of the world, and sharing the fate of other peoples... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Ezekiel 27:1-36
Ezekiel 27:1-36 . Ezekiel 27:1-25 give an interesting description of the world-wide commerce and glory of this proud world city. “Sic transit gloria mundi,” thus passeth the glory of the world! Of the proud and wicked mistress of the sea nothing but ruins remain and her very site is no longer known. What her past glory was is made known by the prophet, yet Ezekiel never had been to that city, nor did he have any knowledge of her grandeur, her great wealth and far reaching commerce. God revealed... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 27:1-36
Mourning for Tyre (27:1-36)This chapter continues the theme of Tyre’s overthrow. It is in the form of a funeral song that Tyre’s trading partners sing as they mourn the city’s death (27:1-2).The song begins by recalling the glory of Tyre’s past. The prosperous commercial city is likened to a magnificent merchant ship, beautifully made from best quality materials taken from all parts of the trading world. Her planks, masts, oars and decking were made of the best timbers, her sails from the... read more
