以西结书 27:6-10 RCUVSS

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 27:10

They of Persia - Lud, the Lydians; Phut, a people of Africa, see Genesis 10:6 . From these places they had auxiliary troops; for as they traded with the then known world, were rich, and could afford to give good pay, they no doubt had soldiers and sailors from every part. Skilful and desperate men will go any where after their price. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 27:1-25

The beauty, glory, and replenishment of the city of Tyre. This portion of Ezekiel's writings evinces a very remarkable acquaintance with the geography and the economics of the then known world. Perhaps the prophet, living in the heart of a great Oriental monarchy, and in intercourse not only with his countrymen, but with men of various nationalities, may have acquired something more of a cosmopolitan habit of mind than was common among the Jews. Certain it is that the commercial relations... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 27:1-36

Wreck of a stately ship. There is a striking resemblance between a gallant ship and an empire. Many persons and orders are united in a state under one governor or captain. There is a unity amid diversity. A state, like a ship, has interchange of interests with other nations. Upon the skill and prudence of the pilot depends the prosperity of empire or ship. The whole life of Tyre was poured into the channel of commerce. Hence the figure would be readily appreciated. I. THE COMPONENT ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 27:1-36

A celebration of remarkable prosperity. "The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying, Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus," etc. "We have here," says Hengstenberg," the lamentation over the fall of Tyre, announced in the foregoing chapter. First, its present glory is presented at full length to the view ( Ezekiel 27:1-25 ); then its fall, the importance of which can only be understood from the knowledge of its glory. We must profoundly know the gloria mundi if we... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 27:6

The high plateau of Bashan, the region east of the sea of Galilee and the Jordan, now known as the Hauran, was famous then, as it is now, for its oak forests and its wild cattle ( Psalms 22:12 ). The company of the Ashurites , etc.; better, with the Revised Version, they have made thy benches of ivory inlaid in boxwood . The Authorized Version follows the present Hebrew text, but the name of the nation there is not the same as that of the Assyrians, and corresponds with the Ashurites... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 27:7

For the fine linen of Egypt , the Byssus famous in its commerce, see Genesis 41:42 ; Exodus 26:36 . This, which took the place of the coarse canvas of the common ships, was made more magnificent by being embroidered with purple or crimson, with gold borders. The ship of Antony and Cleopatra had purple sails, which, as they swelled out with the wind, served as a banner. The ancient ships had no flags or pennons. So the Revised Version renders, of fine linen, was thy sail, that it might... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 27:8

The two cities are named as tributaries of Tyro from which she drew her sailors, the Tyrians themselves acting as captains and pilots. Zidon (now Saida ) is named in Genesis 10:15 as the firstborn of Canaan, and was older than Tyre itself ( Isaiah 23:2 , Isaiah 23:12 ). Arvad is identified with the Greek Aradus, the modern Ruad, an island about two miles from the coast, about two miles north of the mouth of the river Eleutheros ( Nahr-el-Kebir ). It is scarcely a mile in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 27:9

The ancients of Gebal . The word is used in the sense of "elders" or "senators," the governing body. Gebal, for which the LXX . gives Biblii, is identified with the Greek Byblus. The name appears in Psalms 83:7 in connection, among other nations, with Tyre and Asshur, as allied with them against Israel; in Joshua 13:5 as near Lebanon and Hermon; in 1 Kings 5:18 (margin Revised Version) as among the stonemasons who worked with Hiram's builders. Byblus was situated on an eminence... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 27:10

Persia . The name does not meet us in any Old Testament book before the exile, Elam taking its place. It was just about the time that Ezekiel wrote that the Persians were becoming conspicuous through their alliance with the Modes. So we find it again in Ezekiel 38:5 ; Daniel 5:28 ; Daniel 8:20 ; 2 Chronicles 36:20 , 2 Chronicles 36:22 ; Ezra 1:1 ; Ezra 4:5 ; Esther 1:3 . Here they are named as mercenaries in the Tyrian army. Lud . The LXX . and the Vulgate, led by the... read more

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
