Ezekiel 27:29

29 et descendent de navibus suis omnes qui tenebant remum nautae et universi gubernatores maris in terra stabunt

Ezekiel 27:29 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 27:29

And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the
pilots of the sea
Inferior officers, and the common people; though this may be literally understood of all sorts of seafaring people, differently employed in ships; some at the oar; some at the sails; and others at the helm; but all shall quit their posts, and shall come down from their ships;
either there being no further business for them, an entire stop being put to trade, through the fall of Tyre; or because of danger, and to save themselves, would leave the ship, and betake to their boats, and make for land: hence it follows, they shall stand upon the land;
upon the continent, being safely arrived; looking upon the shipwrecks, and bewailing the loss of Tyre, as in the next verse.

Ezekiel 27:29 In-Context

27 divitiae tuae et thesauri tui et multiplex instrumentum tuum nautae tui et gubernatores tui qui tenebant supellectilem tuam et populo tuo praeerant viri quoque bellatores tui qui erant in te cum universa multitudine tua quae est in medio tui cadent in corde maris in die ruinae tuae
28 a sonitu clamoris gubernatorum tuorum conturbabuntur classes
29 et descendent de navibus suis omnes qui tenebant remum nautae et universi gubernatores maris in terra stabunt
30 et heiulabunt super te voce magna et clamabunt amare et superiacient pulverem capitibus suis et cinere conspergentur
31 et radent super te calvitium et accingentur ciliciis et plorabunt te in amaritudine animae ploratu amarissimo
