See plate in Rawlinson, Phnicia<\/em>, p. 71.<\/p>\n people for many isles<\/em> ] peoples unto many coasts<\/strong>, or, countries, cf.

Ancient Tyre had two ports, that called the Sidonian to the north, the Egyptian to the south; the former exists to the present day. The term entry of the sea is naturally enough applied to a harbor as a place from which ships enter and return from the sea. The city was known in the earliest times as Tyre the port.<\/P> <\/p>\n Verse 3<\/span>. The entry of the sea<\/B><\/I>] Tyre was a small island, or rather rock, in the sea, at a short distance from the main land. We have already seen that there was another Tyre on the main land; but they are both considered as one city.<\/P> <\/p>\n Personate Tyre as near thee, and hearing what thou sayest unto or of her; describe her, that she may know thou speakest to her. <\/P> That art situate; <\/B>that dwellest, so the Hebrew. <\/P> The entry, <\/B>Heb. entrances<\/I>, she was but four furlongs, or five hundred paces, or half our English mile, from the continent, as it were in the very door of the sea, far enough off to have convenient harbors between her and the continent, and to be out of danger of sudden or easy surprises. <\/P> A merchant; <\/B>a rich and populous emporium or mart for all commodities, either to vend or buy to islanders, or those that dwell on firm land. <\/P> Thou hast said; <\/B>in thy riches, strength, alliances, and trade, thou art grown proud, thou hast thought and said too a great deal more than becomes a changeable state. <\/P> I am of perfect beauty:<\/B> thou hast boasted of the excellency of thy government, the strength of thy city, the inaccessibleness of thy situation, nearness, strength, and obligations of thy allies, and as if nothing were wanting to perpetuate thy glory and happiness, poor self-flattering Tyre! But let us view particulars. <\/P> <\/p>\n 3. situate at the entry of thesea<\/B>literally, plural, “entrances,” that is, ports orhavens; referring to the double port of Tyre, at which vesselsentered round the north and south ends of the island, so that shipscould find a ready entrance from whatever point the wind might blow(compare Eze 28:2<\/span>). <\/P> merchant of . . . people formany isles<\/B>that is, a mercantile emporium of the peoples ofmany seacoasts, both from the east and from the west (Isa23:3<\/span>), “a mart of nations.” <\/P> of perfect beauty<\/B> (Eze28:12<\/span>).<\/P><\/p>\n And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea<\/strong>,…. Of the Mediterranean sea; at the eastern part of it, not above half a mile from the continent; and so fit for a seaport, and a harbour for shipping; so mystical Tyre sits on many waters, Re 17:1<\/span>:<\/p>\n which art a merchant of the people for many isles<\/strong>; the inhabitants of many isles brought the produce of them to her; who took them off their hands, or sold them for them to others; these came from several quarters to trade with her in her markets; and who supplied other isles and countries with all sorts of commodities, for which they either resorted to her, or she sent by ships unto them; so Rome is represented as the seat of merchandise, Re 18:7<\/span>:<\/p>\n thus saith the Lord God, O Tyrus, thou hast said<\/strong>; in thine heart, in the pride of it, and with thy mouth, praising and commending thyself; which is not right:<\/p>\n I am of perfect beauty<\/strong>: built on a good foundation, a rock; surrounded with walls and towers; the streets arranged in order, and filled with goodly houses; having a good harbour for shipping, and being a mart for all manner of merchandise, Jerusalem being destroyed, Tyre assumes her character, Ps 48:2<\/span>.<\/p>\n (3) At the entry of the sea.<\/strong>The word for entry in the original is plural, and means the approaches to the sea, or harbours. Tyre had two of these, both remarkably good: the Egyptian, facing the south, and the Sidonian, facing the north, the latter having also an outer harbour or roadstead, formed by a ledge off the north-west extremity of the island. The former is now completely, and the latter nearly, filled up with sand and ruins.<\/p>\n 3<\/strong>. <\/strong> At the entry <\/strong> Literally, entries. <\/em> Tyre was built on an island having a double harbor. <\/p>\n A merchant <\/strong> See note Eze 26:2<\/span>. <\/p>\n I am of perfect beauty <\/strong> This was the verdict of all antiquity. Travelers tried in vain to describe this princess of the seas. (Compare Nonnus, Dionysiaca, <\/em> 40:311, etc.) “Greatly Dionysus rejoiced when he saw the city which the ocean god had bound with the liquid girdle of the waves. In shape she was like the crescent moon. As he looked it seemed a double wonder, since Tyre lies in the sea and is bound by the waves and yet belongs to the land. She seemed like a maiden floating motionless, half submerged in the waters.” A letter written in the fourteenth century B.C. reads, “Behold the palace of the city of Tyre: there is no palace of any other governor like unto it.” (For further description of Tyre see notes Eze 26:2<\/span>; Eze 28:2<\/span>; Eze 28:12<\/span>. Compare Scholar Gypsy, <\/em> Arnold.)<\/p>\n Eze 27:3<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>Which art a merchant, <\/em><\/strong>&c.<\/strong> Which joinest people by commerce, through many isles. <\/em>Houbigant; who renders the beginning of the next verse, Thy borders extend even to the middle of the sea.<\/em> <\/p>\n Eze 27:3 And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea, [which art] a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O Tyrus, thou hast said, I [am] of perfect beauty.<\/p>\n Ver. 3. O thou that art situated at the entry of the sea.<\/strong> ] As now the city of Venice is, <\/p>\n “ Media insuperabilis unda.<\/em> ”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Environed with her embracing Neptune, to whom (as the ceremony of throwing a ring into the sea implieth, saith one) she marrieth herself with yearly nuptials. But hath she so learned Christ? and doth not the Nebuchadnezzar of Constantinople now threaten her sore? <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thou hast said, I am of perfect beauty.<\/strong> ] So that nothing can be added to me: I am ocellus orbis.<\/em> But who made thee to differ?

See note on Eze 2:4. <\/p>\n O thou: Tyre was situated in the Mediterranean, at the nearest entrance to it from the interior and eastern part of Asia.

Entry of the sea. Tyrus was on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea and that gave the city a great advantage in commerce. She could trade with foreign ports without any land transportation, then send her land conveyances inland with the wares obtained oversea and exchange them for manufactured products. This fact is meant by the phrase merchant of the people, and the situation filled her with pride and caused her to say boastfully, I am of perfect beauty.<\/p>\n 27:3 And say to Tyre, O thou that dwelleth at the entrance of the sea, [which art] a merchant {a} of the people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O Tyre, thou hast said, I [am] of perfect beauty.<\/p>\n (a) Which serves all the world with your merchandise.<\/p>\n And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea, [which art] a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O Tyrus, thou hast said, I [am] of perfect beauty. 3. entry of the sea ] lit. entries, reference possibly being to the two harbours … Continue reading “Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Ezekiel 27:3”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21135"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21135\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21135"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
