Contextual Overview

1 The Lord spoke his word to me, saying: 2 "Human, sing a funeral song for the city of Tyre. 3 Speak to Tyre, which has ports for the Mediterranean Sea and is a place for trade for the people of many lands along the seacoast. ‘This is what the Lord God says: Tyre, you have said, "I am like a beautiful ship." 4 You were at home on the high seas. Your builders made your beauty perfect. 5 They made all your boards of fir trees from Mount Hermon. They took a cedar tree from Lebanon to make a ship's mast for you. 6 They made your oars from oak trees from Bashan. They made your deck from cypress trees from the coast of Cyprus and set ivory into it. 7 Your sail of linen with designs sewed on it came from Egypt and became like a flag for you. Your cloth shades over the deck were blue and purple and came from the island of Cyprus. 8 Men from Sidon and Arvad used oars to row you. Tyre, your skilled men were the sailors on your deck. 9 Workers of Byblos were with you, putting caulk in your ship's seams. All the ships of the sea and their sailors came alongside to trade with you. 10 "‘Men of Persia, Lydia, and Put were warriors in your navy and hung their shields and helmets on your sides. They made you look beautiful.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

They have made all thy ship boards of fir trees of Senir,.... The same with Sion and Hermon, which the Sidonians called Sirion, and the Amorites Shenir, Deuteronomy 3:9 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,

"with fir trees of Senir they built for thee all thy bridges;''

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:

they have taken cedars from Lebanon, to make masts for thee; 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.
