Ezekiel 26:1-21

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

EXPOSITION

The prophetic messages against Ammon, Moab, Edom, and the Philistines were comparatively short. That against Tyre spreads over three chapters (Eze 26:1-29:18). The special prominence thus given to the latter city was probably due to its political importance in Ezekiel's time, possibly also to the personal knowledge which may be inferred from his minute description of its magnificence and its commerce. It is ushered in with special solemnity as "a word of Jehovah."
