Ezequiel 26:9 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 26:9

And he shall set engines of war against thy walls
Which some Jewish writers understand of crossbows, out of which stones or arrows were cast; but rather, according to Kimchi and Jarchi, they were warlike machines, invented to throw large stones against the walls of a place, to beat them down. Some think they were the same with the battering rams, used in sieges for the demolishing of walls; which was a late invention of those times, Ezekiel being the first writer, it is said, that makes mention of them: and with his axes he shall break down thy towers;
the word here used signifies anything made of iron, as swords, spears, hammers, and axes; the latter, being more proper to demolish towers, is here pitched on by our translators. The Targum renders it, "with stones of iron"; that is, with iron balls cast out of their engines.

Ezequiel 26:9 In-Context

7 “Pois assim diz o Soberano, o SENHOR: Contra você, Tiro, vou trazer do norte o rei da Babilônia, Nabucodonosor, rei de reis, com cavalos e carros, com cavaleiros e um grande exército.
8 Ele desfechará com a espada um violento ataque contra os seus territórios no continente. Construirá obras de cerco e uma rampa de acesso aos seus muros. E armará uma barreira de escudos contra você.
9 Ele dirigirá as investidas dos seus aríetes contra os seus muros e com armas de ferro demolirá as suas torres.
10 Seus cavalos serão tantos que cobrirão você de poeira. Seus muros tremerão com o barulho dos cavalos de guerra, das carroças e dos carros, quando ele entrar por suas portas com a facilidade com que se entra numa cidade cujos muros foram derrubados.
11 Os cascos de seus cavalos pisarão todas as suas ruas; ele matará o seu povo à espada, e as suas resistentes colunas ruirão.
