Ezekiel 27
1. The riches and commerce of Tyrus
26. The great and irrecoverable fall thereof














(24) All sorts of things.--The margin, excellent things, is better. The word means "that which is perfect." In Ezekiel 23:12 it is "most gorgeously," and in Ezekiel 38:4, as here, "all sorts." In all "excellent" or "excellently" is the true sense. "Clothes"--literally, foldings--refers to the purple embroidered cloaks for which Babylonia was famous.

Chests of rich apparel.--Rather, treasures of twisted yarn; and for "made of cedar" read strong. An extensive trade in yarns was kept up from Babylonia to Tyre, where they were dyed and woven, or sold for weaving.

Verse 24. - In all sorts of things; better, with the Revised Version, in choice wares. Hebrew, articles of beauty; or, as in margin of the Authorized Version, "excellent things." The words have been variously interpreted,

(1) by Ewald, as "suits of armor;"

(2) by Keil, as "stately dresses;"

by Havernick, as "works of art" generally. The description in detail that follows is so vivid as to give the impression that Ezekiel had seen the merchants of Sheba unloading their camels and bringing out their treasures as they arrived at Tyro. The blue clothes (wrappings of blue, as in the Revised Version) were the purple robes of Babylon, which were famous all over the world. The words that follow are somewhat obscure, but are probably rightly translated by Keil, "embroidered of twisted yarn, in-wound, and strong cords for thy wares." The yarn may have been used for the cordage of the Tyrian ships. The words, made of cedar, are in this rendering taken as an adjective, equivalent to "firm" or "strong" (so Furst).
