Cypress is known for its resistance to decay, making it ideal for maritime construction. Senir is another name for Mount Hermon, a significant mountain in the region, indicating the geographical source of the wood. This choice of material and location underscores the wealth and resources available to Tyre, the subject of Ezekiel's lament. The imagery of a well-crafted ship symbolizes Tyre's economic power and influence. In biblical context, the use of fine materials often signifies prosperity and divine blessing, but here it also foreshadows the impending judgment due to pride and reliance on wealth.<p><b>They took a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.</b><br>Cedar from Lebanon was highly prized in the ancient world for its strength and aromatic qualities. It was used in the construction of significant structures, including Solomon's Temple (<a href="/1_kings/5-6.htm">1 Kings 5:6</a>). The mention of Lebanon's cedar emphasizes the grandeur and prestige of Tyre's maritime endeavors. Historically, Lebanon's cedars were a symbol of majesty and were often associated with royal and sacred buildings. The mast, a central component of a ship, represents leadership and direction. In a prophetic sense, the reliance on such esteemed materials could be seen as a metaphor for human pride and self-reliance, contrasting with the biblical call to trust in God. The imagery of the mast also connects to the broader biblical theme of nations and leaders being likened to trees, as seen in passages like <a href="/daniel/4-10.htm">Daniel 4:10-12</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet of God who ministered to the Israelites during their Babylonian exile.

The word in the original is in the dual, with reference to its two sides. Senir was the Amorite name of Hermon, or Antilebanon, called by the Sido-nians Sirion (<a href="/deuteronomy/3-9.htm" title="(Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it Shenir;)">Deuteronomy 3:9</a>). Ezekiel wished to use a foreign name, and the latter may at this time have become obsolete.

The Scripture names of trees are not always well identified. Both were esteemed among the ancients for ship-building, especially the cypress, on account of its lightness, durability, and freedom from the attacks of worms.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/27.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 5.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Fir trees of Senti</span>.

The fir tree was more commonly used for ships, the cedar for houses (Virgil, 'Georg.,' 2:444). The Hebrew for "boards" is unique in its form as a plural with a dual form superadded to indicate that each plank had its counterpart on the other side of the ship. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/27-5.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">They constructed</span><br /><span class="heb">בָּ֣נוּ</span> <span class="translit">(bā·nū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb -
