In the ancient Near Eastern context, horses were a symbol of strength and speed in warfare. The Hebrew word for "horses" (סוּס, sus) often denotes not just the animal but the might and mobility of an army. This imagery underscores the impending doom and the unstoppable force that God is allowing to come against Tyre as a judgment for their pride and sin.<p><b>will cover you with dust</b><br />The phrase "will cover you with dust" paints a vivid picture of the sheer number of horses and the chaos they bring. In ancient times, the dust raised by an approaching army was a sign of its size and power. The Hebrew root for "dust" (עָפָר, afar) can also symbolize mortality and humility, reminding Tyre of its vulnerability despite its fortified position and wealth. This imagery serves as a humbling reminder of God's sovereignty over nations.<p><b>the noise of the cavalry, wagons, and chariots</b><br />"The noise of the cavalry, wagons, and chariots" emphasizes the terror and confusion that accompany the invading forces. The Hebrew word for "noise" (קוֹל, qol) often conveys not just sound but a proclamation or announcement. Here, it signifies the announcement of judgment. The mention of "cavalry, wagons, and chariots" highlights the comprehensive nature of the assault, as these were the primary components of a powerful military force in the ancient world.<p><b>will shake your walls</b><br />The phrase "will shake your walls" indicates the physical and psychological impact of the invasion. Walls in ancient cities were symbols of security and strength. The Hebrew verb for "shake" (רָעַשׁ, ra'ash) can also mean to quake or tremble, suggesting not only the literal shaking of the walls but also the fear and instability that will grip the inhabitants of Tyre. This serves as a metaphor for the crumbling of their false sense of security.<p><b>as he enters your gates</b><br />"As he enters your gates" signifies the breach of Tyre's defenses and the inevitability of its downfall. Gates were crucial for the protection and control of a city, and their breach symbolized defeat. The Hebrew word for "enters" (בּוֹא, bo) implies not just physical entry but the coming of judgment. This phrase underscores the certainty of God's prophetic word coming to pass.<p><b>as men enter a city breached</b><br />The final phrase, "as men enter a city breached," conveys the ease with which the invaders will penetrate Tyre's defenses. A breached city is one that has lost its ability to defend itself, and the Hebrew word for "breached" (פָּרַץ, parats) can also mean to break through or burst forth. This imagery highlights the futility of resisting God's judgment and serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of pride and rebellion against Him.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/ezekiel/26.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(10) <span class= "bld">Shall enter into thy gates.</span>--The whole description of this verse again implies that Nebuchadnezzar had contrived some way by which his armies, with horsemen and chariots, could march into the city, and the prophet gives a glowing poetic description of the effect of their entrance.<p><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/26-10.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">His multitude</span><br /><span class="heb">מִשִּׁפְעַ֥ת</span> <span class="translit">(miš·šip̄·‘aṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-m | Noun -
