Verse 5<\/span>. Fir trees of Senir<\/B><\/I>] Senir<\/I> is a mountain which the Sidonians called Sirion, and the Hebrews Hermon<\/I>, De 3:9<\/span>. It was beyond Jordan, and extended from Libanus to the mountains of Gilead.<\/P> <\/p>\n They; <\/B>thy shipwrights. <\/P> Ship-boards; <\/B>the planks, and benches, or transoms, for their ships. <\/P> Of fir trees; <\/B>of the best and finest fir trees <\/P> of Senir, <\/B>i.e. Hermen, Deu 3:9<\/span>. <\/P> Cedars, <\/B>for height, strength, durableness, and pleasing smell, beside smoothness of grain, and fitness for curious carvings, the best of trees. <\/P> From Lebanon, <\/B>whose cedars excelled others. <\/P> <\/p>\n 5. Senir<\/B>the Amorite name ofHermon, or the southern height of Anti-libanus (De3:9<\/span>); the Sidonian name was Sirion.<\/I> “All thy . . .boards”; dual in Hebrew,<\/I> “double<\/I>-boards,”namely, placed in a double order on the two sides of which the shipconsisted [VATABLUS]. Or,referring to the two sides or the two ends, the prow and the stern,which every ship has [MUNSTER].<\/P> cedars<\/B>most suited for”masts,” from their height and durability.<\/P><\/p>\n They have made all thy ship boards of fir trees of Senir<\/strong>,…. The same with Sion and Hermon, which the Sidonians called Sirion, and the Amorites Shenir, De 3:9<\/span> here, it seems, grew the best of fir trees, of which the Tyrians made boards and planks for shipping; of these the two sides of the ship, as the word r here used in the dual number is thought to signify, or the fore and hind decks, were made. The Targum is,<\/p>\n “with fir trees of Senir they built for thee all thy bridges;”<\/p>\n the planks from which they went from one ship to another; but these are of too small consequence to be mentioned; rather the main of the ship is intended, which was built of fir planks; but ours made of oak are much preferable:<\/p>\n they have taken cedars from Lebanon, to make masts for thee<\/strong>; large poles for the yards and sails to be fastened to, for receiving the wind necessary in navigation; called the main mast, the foremast, the mizzenmast, and the boltsprit; all these are only in large vessels; whether the Tyrians had all of these is not certain; some they had, and which were made of the cedars of Lebanon; which, being large tall trees, were fit for this purpose. The Tyrians s are said to be the first inventors of navigation.<\/p>\n r “tabulata duplicia”, Munster; “duas tabulas”, Vatablus. s “Prima ratem ventis credere docta Tyros.” Catullus.<\/p>\n (5) Ship boards.<\/strong>Planking for the sides of the ship. The word in the original is in the dual, with reference to its two sides. Senir was the Amorite name of Hermon, or Antilebanon, called by the Sido-nians Sirion (Deu. 3:9<\/span>). Ezekiel wished to use a foreign name, and the latter may at this time have become obsolete. The timber brought thence for the ships planking, and called fir, <\/em>was the same with that furnished by Hiram to Solomon for the floor of the Temple (1Ki. 6:15<\/span>), and may have been either fir (spruce?) or cypress. The Scripture names of trees are not always well identified. Both were esteemed among the ancients for ship-building, especially the cypress, on account of its lightness, durability, and freedom from the attacks of worms.<\/p>\n 5<\/strong>. <\/strong> Fir trees <\/strong> [or, cypress<\/em> ] of Senir <\/strong> Senir, or Shenir, was the Amorite name for Mount Hermon (Deu 3:9<\/span>). Assyrian, Shaniru.<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Cedars from Lebanon to make masts <\/strong> Literally, a mast. <\/em> The Egyptians and Hebrews, as well as the Phoenicians, depended upon Lebanon for their best timber. (See note Eze 26:2<\/span>; compare 1Ki 5:10<\/span>; 1Ki 7:2<\/span>.)<\/p>\n The cedar was ordinarily used for houses and fir trees for ships. Only the largest ideal ship such as the prophet pictures Tyre to be would need a cedar for a mast.<\/p>\n Eze 27:5<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>Thy ship-boardsof Senir<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> Senir <\/em>is the ancient name for Hermon.<\/em> See Deu 3:9<\/span>. <\/p>\n Masts<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> 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. <\/p>\n Eze 27:5 They have made all thy [ship] boards of fir trees of Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee.<\/p>\n Ver. 5. They have made all thy ship boards.<\/strong> ] Of the most precious materials, which, with thy rich freight, did incite and entice the arch-pirate to surprise and make prize of thee.<\/p>\n ship boards = planks. <\/p>\n fir = cypress. <\/p>\n Senir = Mount Hermon (Deu 3:9). <\/p>\n made: Heb. built <\/p>\n of Senir: Deu 3:9, Son 4:8, Shenir <\/p>\n cedars: 1Ki 5:1, 1Ki 5:6, Psa 29:5, Psa 92:12, Psa 104:16, Isa 14:8 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Rev 18:12 – merchandise<\/p>\n Eze 27:5. Having the “range1 of the sea at her command, that encouraged these builders to make vessels for that purpose. And here we can see another advantage in being situated on the seacoast. It was near the famous forests of the Lebanon district and hence in easy access to some of the best materials for shipbuilding.<\/p>\n Eze 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 be strong. The company of the Ashurites That is, the Assyrians; have made thy benches of ivory Perhaps the seats in the cabins of the royal galleys. Instead of the company of the Ashurites, &c., Bishop Newcome (with R. Salerno, Bochart, Houbigant, and some others, using a different pointing of the Hebrew word so rendered) reads the latter part of the verse thus: Thy benches have they made of ivory, inlaid in box from the isles of Chittim That is, the islands and coasts of the Mediterranean. In this sense the Chaldee understands the clause. Corsica, with which no doubt the Tyrians traded, was famous for the box-tree; and we may easily allow that the benches of some of the Tyrian ships were adorned with streaks of ivory inlaid in that kind of wood which certainly would appear very beautiful. So Virgil would have thought, who uses such an emblem to set forth the beauty of young Ascanius:<\/p>\n Quale per artem Inclusum buxo, aut Oricia terebintho Lucet ebur. N. 10:135.<\/p>\n Distinguishd from the crowd he shines a gem Enchased in gold, or polishd ivory set Amidst the meaner foil of sable jet. DRYDEN.<\/p>\n Fine linen with broidered work, &c., from Egypt Fine linen was one of the principal commodities of Egypt, and was a habit used for persons of the best quality; which shows to what an excess of vanity the Tyrians were come, to use such costly manufactures for sails to their ships. Suetonius, in his Life of Caligula, cap. 37, reckons this among several instances of that emperors extravagance, that he furnished his pleasure-boats with costly sails, and other expensive ornaments. Blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was that which covered thee Blue and purple are elsewhere reckoned among those colours which set off the richest attire. The common clothing of the Tyrians was of these kinds, which were brought from the islands of the gean sea, particularly Coos, famed for purple among heathen authors. Elishah denotes the countries upon the coast of Greece: a part of Peloponnesus retains the name of Elis among the Greek writers. Lowth.<\/p>\n 27:5 They have made all thy [ship] planks of fir trees of {b} Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee.<\/p>\n (b) This mountain was called Hermon but the Amorites called it Shenir, De 3:9 .<\/p>\n The wood was fir (probably pine or cypress) from the Mount Hermon region, and the mast was a strong cedar from Lebanon. Likewise her oars were of the best strong oak from Bashan, and her decks of boxwood (or cypress) from Cyprus contained beautifully inlaid ivory. Her linen sail had come from Egypt, which was famous for its linen products (Gen 41:42; Pro 7:16), and it had become Tyre’s distinguishing flag or banner. The awning over the deck, or possibly the deck itself, was an attractive combination of violet and purple colors, and it came from Elishah (Italy, Sicily, Carthage, Cyprus, and Syria all being possibilities). In other words, Tyre’s development as a city-state came through obtaining the finest materials of her day by trading with the producers of those materials.<\/p>\n They have made all thy [ship] boards of fir trees of Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee.
