Ezekiel 27:3

"“You, son of man, take up a lamentation over Tyre;"

Key Reflection

Ezekiel 27:3 instructs the prophet to compose a lament for Tyre, symbolically placing Israel in a position of judgment and reflection on the fate of this once-prospers maritime city. This act underscores the prophetic role of denouncing the wickedness and eventual fall of nations, even while preserving hope for future restoration.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Entry -literally, “entries.” Ancient Tyre had two ports, that called the Sidonian to the north, the Egyptian to the south; the former exists to the present day. The term “entry of the sea” is naturally enough applied to a harbor as a place from which ships enter and return from the sea. The city was known in the earliest times as “Tyre the port.”
