Ezek. 27:1–36 This second installment of the prophecy against Tyre is both simple and complex. It follows a simple story line, in the form of a lament, but the language and technical details are complex. In spite of these obscure details and uncertain place names, however, the force of the lament is clear enough: for all its splendor and in spite of its wealth, Tyre is doomed.
Ezek. 27:8–9 The mariners came from various Phoenician coastal cities.
Ezek. 27:10 Persia (modern Iran), Lud (probably in Asia Minor), and Put (Libya) mark a vast geographical triangle from which foreign mercenaries were recruited.
Ezek. 27:11 The identities of the final group of place names are uncertain. They complete the beauty boasted of in vv. 3–4.
Ezek. 27:12–25 The impressive range of merchant connections begins and ends with Tarshish, probably in southern Spain. Tyre’s trade stretched along the whole extent of the Mediterranean.
Ezek. 27:13 The names Javan, Tubal, and Meshech first occur as sons of Japheth in Gen. 10:2 (repeated in 1 Chron. 1:5). By Ezekiel’s time the names signified geographical regions, perhaps peopled by descendants of those men. The primary importance of the names here is to signify the far-off places where Tyre did business.
