以西結書 27:13-24 CUNPTS

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 27:13

Javan designs Greece, as the Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions render it; especially that part of it called Ionia, from Javan the son of Japheth, Genesis 10:2 and Tubal, and Meshech, were also sons of Japheth; the former are the Iberi and Albanians, as Jerom and others, among whom were a city called Thabilaca, by Ptolemy F23 Geograph. l. 5. c. 12. ; and the latter the Cappadocians, with whom is a city called Mazaca F24 Joseph. Antiqu. l. 1. c. 6. sect. 1. . They traded the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 27:14

They of the house of Togarmah ,.... The Targum is, "they of the province or country of Germany.' Jerom understands it of Phrygia, near to which was Cappadocia; and perhaps is here meant, since it abounded with what these people are said to trade with Tyre in: these traded in thy fairs with horses, horsemen, and mules ; for the Cappadocians paid for their yearly tribute to the Persians fifteen hundred horses, and two thousand mules, as Bochart F3 Phaleg. c. 11. Colossians 178 . ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 27:15

The men of Dedan were thy merchants ,.... Not Dedan in Idumea or Edom, but in Arabia, from Dedan the son of Raamah, Genesis 10:7 , many isles were the merchandise of thine hands ; that is, many isles took off their manufactures from them, in lieu of what they brought them, which were as follow: they brought thee for a present ; that they might have the liberty of trading in their fairs and markets; or rather for a reward, or as a price, for the goods they had of them: horns of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 27:16

Syria was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the wares of thy making ,.... Which they took off of their hands, and for them brought the following things: they occupied in thy fairs with emeralds ; precious stones of a green colour: Jarchi renders it "carbuncles", other precious stones of a different colour; and so the word is translated by Pagninus, Montanus, Grotius, the French, and Diodate; sometimes called "carchedonies", and which the Apostle John calls the "chalcedony", ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 27:17

Judah, and the land of Israel, they were thy merchants ,.... The inhabitants of Judah and Israel; the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and the other ten tribes of Israel, they all merchandised with the Tyrians, being near unto them: they traded in thy market wheat of Minnith ; the name of a place, Judges 11:33 , where probably the best wheat grew; so the Targum renders it; the Tyrians were supplied with wheat from the land of Israel, in the times of Solomon, long before this, 1 Kings... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 27:18

Damascus was thy merchant in the multitude of the wares of thy making ,.... Of the many things manufactured at Tyre, the inhabitants of Damascus, once the chief city of Syria, took some: for the multitude of all riches : in lieu of the vast quantity of rich things there made, they traded with them for them: in the wine of Helbon, and white wool ; Helbon very probably is the same with the Chalybon of Ptolemy F16 Geograph. l. 5. c. 15. , which he places in Syria; a place famous... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 27:19

Dan also and Javan, going to and fro, occupied in thy fairs ,.... Either the inhabitants of the tribe of Dan in general; or of Laish, sometime called Dan, and in later times Caesarea Philippi, which was in that tribe: though Grotius thinks that Taprobane, or the isle of Zeilan, is meant, where, and not in Dan, were the things after mentioned, in plenty; and where also, according to Ptolemy F20 Geograph. l. 7. c. 4. , was a city called Dana or Dagana: and Bochart takes Javan not to be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 27:20

Dedan was thy merchant in precious cloths for chariots. Or, "cloths of freedom" F21 בבגדי חפש "pannis libertatis", Vatablus, Piscator; "ingenuorem", Junius & Tremellius. So Ben Melech, and R. Sol. Urbin. Ohel Moed, fol. 30. 2. ; such as freemen and even nobles wore; and yet so extravagant were the Tyrians, that they bought these to line or cover their chariots with; this is different from the Dedan in Ezekiel 27:15 , and is either Dedan in Edom or Idumea, Jeremiah 49:8 , or... 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
