Ezekiel 26:10

Ezekiel 29:18
Context29:18 “Son of man, King Nebuchadrezzar 5 of Babylon made his army labor hard against Tyre. 6 Every head was rubbed bald and every shoulder rubbed bare; yet he and his army received no wages from Tyre for the work he carried out against it.
1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the member of the royal family, v. 13) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
2 tn Heb “him”; the referent (the king of Babylon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
3 tn Heb “From the abundance of his horses he will cover you (with) their dust.”
4 tn Heb “like those who enter a breached city.”
5 tn Heb “Nebuchadrezzar” is a variant and more correct spelling of Nebuchadnezzar, as the Babylonian name Nabu-kudurri-usur has an “r” rather than an “n” (so also in v. 19).
6 sn Nebuchadnezzar besieged Tyre from 585 to 571
