Ezekiel 27:32
Context27:32 As they wail they will lament over you, chanting:
“Who was like Tyre, like a tower 3 in the midst of the sea?”


[14:10] 1 tn Or “They will bear responsibility for their iniquity.” The Hebrew term “iniquity” (three times in this verse) often refers by metonymy to the consequence of sin (see Gen 4:13).
[14:10] 2 tn Or “As is the guilt of the inquirer so is the guilt of the prophet.”
[27:32] 3 tn As it stands, the meaning of the Hebrew text is unclear. The translation follows the suggestion of M. Dahood, “Accadian-Ugaritic dmt in Ezekiel 27:32,” Bib 45 (1964): 83-84. Several other explanations and emendations have been offered. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:83, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:85-86, for a list of options.
