Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 27:1-25

Here, I. The prophet is ordered to take up a lamentation for Tyrus, Ezek. 27:2. It was yet in the height of its prosperity, and there appeared not the least symptom of its decay; yet the prophet must lament it, because its prosperity is its snare, is the cause of its pride and security, which will make its fall the more grievous. Even those that live at ease are to be lamented if they be not preparing for trouble. He must lament it because its ruin is hastening on apace; it is sure, it is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 27:21

Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar ,.... Arabia was a large country, divided into three parts, Arabia Deserts, or the desert; Arabia Petraea, or the rocky; and Arabia Felix, or the happy. Kedar was in Arabia Petrea; its inhabitants were called Kedarenes, descended from Kedar, a son of Ishmael, Genesis 25:13 , they were chiefly shepherds, and dwelt in tents, to which the allusion is in Song of Solomon 1:5 , these princes were the rich and wealthy among them, who bought up the cattle of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 27:22

The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they were thy merchants ,.... This Sheba was the son of Raamah, Genesis 10:7 who settled in Arabia Felix; where, according to Ptolemy F24 Geograph. l. 6. c. 7. , is a city called Rhegma; and so Raamah is pronounced in the Septuagint version of Genesis 10:7 , they occupied in thy fairs with chief of all spices ; as with myrrh and frankincense, with which they abounded: Pliny F25 Nat. Hist. l. 12. c. 17. says that the Arabians paid... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 27:23

Haran, and Canneh, and Eden ,.... Haran was a city of Mesopotamia, the same with Haran, where Abraham dwelt awhile, Acts 7:2 , the Charrae of the Parthians, famous for the defeat of Crassus. Canneh is thought to be the same with Calneh, Genesis 10:10 , afterwards called Ctesiphon; and here, by the Targum, Netzibin, a place not far from Tigris; and Eden also was between Tigris and Euphrates. All three places seem to be in Mesopotamia, and not far from each other; the latter is thought by... read more

These were thy merchants in all sorts of things ,.... Either all before mentioned throughout the chapter, or rather those only in the preceding verse; also these were merchants in various things after mentioned, and which were the best and most perfect of the kind, as the word F4 במכללים "rebus perfectissimis", Junius & Tremellius, Polanus, Cocceius, Starckius. used signifies: in blue cloths, and broidered work ; these the Assyrians took of them, a colour in which they much... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 27:23

Haran - In Mesopotamia; well known in Scripture. Canneh - Or Chalane, see Genesis 10:10 . It is supposed to be a cape or port of Arabia Felix, on the Indian Sea. Eden - Equally famous: supposed to have been situated near the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates. Sheba - Different from that in Genesis 10:22 . This was probably near the country of the Edomites. Asshur - Perhaps the Assyrians. Chilmad - Possibly Cholmadora, on the Euphrates. Ptol. lib. v.. cap. 15. For... 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
