Ezequiel 26:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 26:6

And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by
the sword
That is, the inhabitants of the cities, towns, and villages, on the shore near it, and which were subject to it; as such cities are frequently in Scripture called the daughters of the place to which they belong: or their daughters literally, that should get out of the city, and endeavour to make their escape; yet should fall into the enemies' hands, who would not spare them on account of their sex or age. The Targum favours the former sense, as most of the Jewish writers do, which is,

``and the inhabitants of the villages which are in the field shall be killed by the sword:''

and they shall know that I am the Lord:
the true God, and not Hercules or Apollo, or any other idols they worshipped; when they shall see all these things exactly accomplished, now prophesied of; which none but the omniscient God could foretell.

Ezequiel 26:6 In-Context

4 Destruirán los muros de Tiro, y derribarán sus torres. Hasta los escombros barreré de su lugar; ¡la dejaré como roca desnuda!

5 ¡Quedará en medio del mar como un tendedero de redes! Yo, el SEÑOR omnipotente, lo afirmo. Tiro será despojo de las naciones,

6 y sus poblados tierra adentro serán devastados a filo de espada. Entonces sabrán que yo soy el SEÑOR.

7 »Así dice el SEÑOR omnipotente: Desde el norte voy a traer contra Tiro a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, rey de reyes. Vendrá con un gran ejército de caballos, y con carros de guerra y jinetes.

8 Tus poblados tierra adentro serán devastados a filo de espada. Y Nabucodonosor construirá contra ti muros de asedio, levantará rampas para atacarte y alzará sus escudos.
