Ezekiel 27:33 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 27:33

When thy wares went forth out of the seas
When they were took out of ships, which came to Tyre from all parts, and were landed on the shore, and put up in warehouses, and exposed in markets and The Targum is,

``when thy merchandise went out from among the nations;''
being brought from all parts thither: thou filledst many people;
by selling them in their markets commodities they wanted, for which they came from all quarters; and by sending them to others in ships, where they knew they stood in need of them, and would fetch them a good price; and they had enough to answer the demands of all, and to supply them to the full: thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy
riches and pithy merchandise;
by taking off the goods of their subjects, whereby they were able the better to pay their taxes, and support them in their grandeur and dignity; as well as by furnishing them gold and silver, and precious stones, which they gave for the produce of their country; or by the toll and custom of the goods imported or exported.

Ezekiel 27:33 In-Context

31 et radent super te calvitium et accingentur ciliciis et plorabunt te in amaritudine animae ploratu amarissimo
32 et adsument super te carmen lugubre et plangent te quae est ut Tyrus quae obmutuit in medio maris
33 quae in exitu negotiationum tuarum de mari implesti populos multos in multitudine divitiarum tuarum et populorum tuorum ditasti reges terrae
34 nunc contrita es a mari in profundis aquarum opes tuae et omnis multitudo tua quae erat in medio tui ceciderunt
35 universi habitatores insularum obstipuerunt super te et reges earum omnes tempestate perculsi mutaverunt vultus
