Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 27:3

_ _ situate at the entry of the sea — literally, plural, “entrances,” that is, ports or havens; referring to the double port of Tyre, at which vessels entered round the north and south ends of the island, so that ships could find a ready entrance from whatever point the wind might blow (compare Ezekiel 28:2).

_ _ merchant of ... people for many isles — that is, a mercantile emporium of the peoples of many seacoasts, both from the east and from the west (Isaiah 23:3), “a mart of nations.”

_ _ of perfect beauty — (Ezekiel 28:12).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 27:1-25.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 27:3

At the entry — Heb. Entrances. She was about four furlongs, or half an English mile from the continent, as it were in the very door of the sea.
