In the ancient world, particularly in the context of the Phoenician city of Tyre, rowers were essential for maneuvering large trading vessels. The Hebrew word used here, "חֹבְלַיִךְ" (ḥōḇlayik), emphasizes the human effort and expertise required to propel the ship. This can be seen as a metaphor for the leaders and influencers of Tyre, who guided the city to its peak of economic and cultural influence.<p><b>have brought you</b><br />indicates the action and responsibility of the rowers in leading Tyre to its current state. The Hebrew verb "הֵבִיאוּךְ" (hēḇi'ūḵ) suggests a deliberate and purposeful movement. This reflects the intentional decisions made by Tyre's leaders to expand their influence and reach. It serves as a reminder of the consequences of human choices and the direction they can lead a community or nation.<p><b>onto the high seas</b><br />The phrase "הַיָּמִּים הָרַבִּים" (hayyammîm harabbîm) literally translates to "the many waters" or "the great waters," symbolizing the vast and often unpredictable nature of the sea. In the context of Tyre, this represents the city's ventures into international trade and commerce, which brought both prosperity and risk. The high seas are a metaphor for the challenges and opportunities that come with ambition and expansion. Spiritually, it can be seen as a call to trust in God's guidance when navigating the uncertainties of life.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/ezekiel/27.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(26) <span class= "bld">Thy rowers.</span>--As the chief means of propelling vessels when the art of sailing was imperfectly understood. The figure of the ship is here resumed. "The east wind" is powerful, gusty, and dangerous in the Levant. (Comp. <a href="/psalms/48-7.htm" title="You break the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.">Psalm 48:7</a> : "Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.")<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/27.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 26.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Thy rowers have brought thee</span>. The metaphor goes on its course. The state-ship is in the open sea, and the east wind, the Euroclydon of the Mediterranean (<a href="/acts/27-14.htm">Acts 27:14</a>), blows and threatens it with destruction (comp. <a href="/psalms/48-7.htm">Psalm 48:7</a>). In that destruction all who contributed to her prosperity were involved. The picture reminds us of the description of the ship of Tarshish in <a href="/jonah/1-4.htm">Jonah 1:4, 5</a>.
