Discovery BoxEzekiel 26:10 
Context26:10 He will cover you with the dust kicked up by his many horses. 1 Your walls will shake from the noise of the horsemen, wheels, and chariots when he enters your gates like those who invade through a city’s broken walls. 2
Ezekiel 26:15-19
Context26:15 “This is what the sovereign Lord says to Tyre: Oh, how the coastlands will shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan, at the massive slaughter in your midst! 26:16 All the princes of the sea will vacate 3 their thrones. They will remove their robes and strip off their embroidered clothes; they will clothe themselves with trembling. They will sit on the ground; they will tremble continually and be shocked at what has happened to you. 4 26:17 They will sing this lament over you: 5
“‘How you have perished – you have vanished 6 from the seas,
O renowned city, once mighty in the sea,
she and her inhabitants, who spread their terror! 7
26:18 Now the coastlands will tremble on the day of your fall;
the coastlands by the sea will be terrified by your passing.’ 8
26:19 “For this is what the sovereign Lord says: When I make you desolate like the uninhabited cities, when I bring up the deep over you and the surging 9 waters overwhelm you,
1 tn Heb “From the abundance of his horses he will cover you (with) their dust.”
2 tn Heb “like those who enter a breached city.”
3 tn Heb “descend from.”
4 tn Heb “and they will be astonished over you.”
5 tn Heb “and they will lift up over you a lament and they will say to you.”
6 tn Heb “O inhabitant.” The translation follows the LXX and understands a different Hebrew verb, meaning “cease,” behind the consonantal text. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 2:72, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:43.
7 tn Heb “she and her inhabitants who placed their terror to all her inhabitants.” The relationship of the final prepositional phrase to what precedes is unclear. The preposition probably has a specifying function here, drawing attention to Tyre’s inhabitants as the source of the terror mentioned prior to this. In this case, one might paraphrase verse 17b: “she and her inhabitants, who spread their terror; yes, her inhabitants (were the source of this terror).”
8 tn Heb “from your going out.”
9 tn Heb “many.”
