27<\/strong>. and thy fairs<\/em> ] thy wares.<\/strong> The verse is interesting for the enumeration which it gives both of the crew and cargo. The cargo is described in three words: riches, wares and merchandise the last two words meaning the same thing virtually, though differing in shade of idea. The verse shews that any such rendering as “fair,” “market” for these terms cannot be sustained, the things are here said to fall into the heart of the seas, cf. Eze 27:33-34<\/em><\/span>. The crew consists of (1) sailors, (2) pilots, (3) calkers (carpenters), (4) handlers of the wares, and (5) men of war.<\/p>\n and in all thy company<\/em> ] even all thy.<\/p>\n All who have been enumerated as sharing in, and constituting, the glory of Tyre are now recounted as partakers in her wreck.<\/P> <\/p>\n Verse 27<\/span>.

That vast mass of wealth Tyre had got by her trade and merchandise, were all lost, at once, and came to nought, which had been many years gathering; see Re 18:17<\/span>:<\/p>\n and thy fairs<\/strong>; to which there were such great resorts from all parts, and where such a prodigious traffic was carried on, were now interrupted by the siege, and put to an end upon the ruin of the city:<\/p>\n thy merchandise<\/strong>; the goods both imported and exported; the wares that were brought in from foreign parts, and sold in her, and what was taken from her in lieu of them; now nothing more of this kind; and what goods were in her, whether her own or others, were all lost and destroyed:<\/p>\n thy mariners<\/strong>; who were the inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad,<\/p>\n Eze 27:8<\/span>, these perished with her:<\/p>\n and thy pilots<\/strong>; who were the wisest, most skilful, and best learned in the art of navigation, and who were of the city itself, these were no more, Eze 27:8<\/span>:<\/p>\n thy calkers<\/strong>: the wise and ancient men of Gebal, Eze 27:9<\/span>:<\/p>\n and the occupiers of the merchandise<\/strong>; that traded in her markets and fairs, mentioned from Eze 27:12<\/span>:<\/p>\n and all thy men of war that are in thee<\/strong>: to fight for her and defend her; the Persians, Lydiaus, and Lybians, the men of Arvad, and the Gammadims, Eze 27:10<\/span>:<\/p>\n and in all thy company, which is in the midst of thee<\/strong>; the great concourse of people, whether natives or foreigners:<\/p>\n these all shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy ruin<\/strong>: the walls and banks being demolished, the sea broke in upon it, and washed all away in it, and left it a bare rock; see Eze 26:4<\/span>.<\/p>\n (27) And in all.<\/strong>Better, as in the margin, with all.<\/em> The thought is that all that went to make up the strength and the glory of Tyre perished in one great catastrophe. Many classes are enumerated, and the statement is made general by adding with all thy company. All are represented as going down together with the ship. (Comp. Eze. 27:34<\/span>.)<\/p>\n Eze 27:27 Thy riches, and thy fairs, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the occupiers of thy merchandise, and all thy men of war, that [are] in thee, and in all thy company which [is] in the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy ruin.<\/p>\n Ver. 27. Shall fall into the midst of the seas.<\/strong> ] As a ship that sinketh, and cannot be buoyed up again.<\/p>\n occupiers = barterers, or traders. <\/p>\n in. A special various reading called Sevir (App-34), with four early printed editions, Aramaean, Septuagint, and Syriac, omit this word “in”. <\/p>\n company = gathered host. <\/p>\n Thy riches: In these beautiful and expressive figures, Tyre is represented as a ship at sea, wrecked through the mistakes of her pilots and rowers; that is, destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar, and afterwards by Alexander, in consequence of her rulers having pertinaciously resolved to withstand those haughty conquerors. This vast ship, laden with all kinds of valuable wares, being wrecked, all her valuables, sailors, officers, etc. went to the bottom. Eze 27:7-9, Eze 27:12, Eze 27:18, Eze 27:19, Eze 27:22, Eze 27:24, Eze 27:34, Eze 26:12, Pro 11:4, Rev 18:11-24 <\/p>\n and in all: or, even with all <\/p>\n shall fall: Eze 26:14, Eze 26:21 <\/p>\n midst: Heb. heart, Eze 27:26 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Jer 49:26 – General Eze 27:9 – calkers Eze 27:33 – with the Eze 28:2 – in the midst Eze 28:8 – are slain Amo 5:1 – I take Rev 18:17 – And every<\/p>\n Eze 27:27. This is one of the verses with a mixture of literal and figurative terms. Fall into the midst of the seas is figurative and refers to the defeat of Tyrus at the hands of attacking nations. The calkers are the men supposed to manage the affairs of the city, while the other terms are literal.<\/p>\n Eze 27:27-32. Thy riches, &c., and all thy company, shall fall into the midst of the seas Shall be as utterly ruined and destroyed as if they were sunk in the sea by a shipwreck. Or, this may signify their falling in a sea- fight. The suburbs shall shake, &c. The cry of thy wounded seamen shall make the inhabitants of the suburbs shake for fear: See Eze 26:15. The mariners, &c., shall come down from their ships Seafaring men, finding no encouragement to follow their employment, now thy traffic is destroyed, shall lay aside their trade, and mourn over thee. They shall stand upon the land Bishop Newcome reads, upon the shore, understanding it of the shore of the adjoining island, from which they viewed the conflagration of their city. St. Jerome tells us, from the ancient histories of the Assyrians, that when the safety of the city was despaired of, great numbers of Tyrians secured themselves and their riches in their ships. See notes on Isa 23:1; Isa 23:12. And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee Or rather, over thee, as the LXX. and Vulgate translate it. And shall cry bitterly For the common ruin, and their own share in it. And shall cast up dust upon their heads Shall use expressions of the deepest mourning and lamentation. They shall wallow themselves in ashes As having bid a final farewell to all ease and comfort. They shall make themselves utterly bald for thee Another expression of public sorrow. And They, who used to wear fine linen; shall gird them with sackcloth According to the custom of great mourners. And shall weep for bitterness of heart Instead of singing, as formerly, their merry songs. And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee The words allude to the public lamentations made at funerals. See note on Jer 9:17-18.
