Ezekiel 27:6
_ _ Bashan — celebrated for its oaks, as Lebanon was for its cedars.
_ _ the company of ... Ashurites — the most skilful workmen summoned from Assyria. Rather, as the Hebrew orthography requires, “They have made thy (rowing) benches of ivory inlaid in the daughter of cedars” [Maurer], or, the best boxwood. Fairbairn, with Bochart, reads the Hebrew two words as one: “Thy plankwork (deck: instead of ‘benches,’ as the Hebrew is singular) they made ivory with boxes.” English Version, with Maurer’s correction, is simpler.
_ _ Chittim — Cyprus and Macedonia, from which, Pliny tells us, the best boxwood came [Grotius]. |
