以西結書 27:6-7 RCUVTS

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 27:6

The company ... ivory - Rather, “thy benches (or, deck) made they of ivory with boxwood” (or, larch), i. e., boxwood inlaid with ivory.The isles - (or, coasts) of Chittim is a phrase used constantly for Greece and the Grecian islands. It may probably be extended to other islands in the Mediterranean sea Genesis 10:5, and there ivory may have been brought from the coasts of North Africa. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 27:7

Or, “Fine linen Genesis 41:42 with embroidery from Egypt was” thy sail that it might be to thee for a banner. Sails from Egypt were worked with various figures upon them which served as a device. Their boats had no separate pennons.Blue and purple - Tyrian purple was famous. The Tyrians no doubt imported from the neighboring coasts the mollusks from which they dyed the fine linen of Egypt.Isles of Elishah - See Genesis 10:4. Elishah is considered equivalent to the Greek AEolis on the western... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 27:5-7

Ezekiel 27:5-7. They have made thy ship-boards The decks of thy ships; of fir-trees of Senir By these are meant, the fir-trees which grew upon mount Hermon, which was anciently called Shenir, or Senir. They have taken cedars to make masts for thee Though cedars have a thick, and not a lofty trunk, masts consisting of different parts may be made of different cedars duly sized, or properly shaped if of too large a size. Of the oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars That they might... 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

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Ezekiel 27:6

the company of the Ashurites , &c. = a daughter (or branch) of the Ashurites, &c. Ginsburg thinks this clause should read, "they have made thy benches with ivory [and] box = wood (or cypress)"; reading bith'ashshurim instead of bath-'aehshurim (= a daughter, or branch of the Ashurites), dividing and pointing the words differently. See note on Ezekiel 31:3 ; and compare Isaiah 41:19 ; Isaiah 60:13 . Chittim. Probably Cyprus. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 27:6

Ezekiel 27:6. Of the oaks of Bashan— Bishop Newton observes upon this description of Tyre, that Cleopatra, sailing down the river Cydnus to meet Mark Antony, was not attended with greater finery and magnificence; nor have historians and poets painted the one in more lively colours than the prophet the other. Instead of, The company of the Ashurites, &c. Houbigant reads, They have made thy seats of ivory, inclosed in box, brought from the Italian islands. read more

Ezekiel 27:7. Isles of Elishah— Isles of Greece. It is remarkable that part of Peloponnesus was named Elis among the Grecian writers. Gebal in the ninth verse was a province of Phoenicia, near Tyre. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 27:6

6. Bashan—celebrated for its oaks, as Lebanon was for its cedars. the company of . . . Ashurites—the most skilful workmen summoned from Assyria. Rather, as the Hebrew orthography requires, "They have made thy (rowing) benches of ivory inlaid in the daughter of cedars" [MAURER], or, the best boxwood. FAIRBAIRN, with BOCHART, reads the Hebrew two words as one: "Thy plankwork (deck: instead of 'benches,' as the Hebrew is singular) they made ivory with boxes." English Version, with MAURER'S... read more
