Teaching Points The Transience of Human AchievementTyre's grandeur, symbolized by its ships made from the finest materials, serves as a reminder that human achievements, no matter how impressive, are temporary and subject to God's sovereignty. The Value of Quality and Craftsmanship The use of cypress and cedar in shipbuilding reflects the importance of using quality materials and skilled craftsmanship in our endeavors, encouraging us to pursue excellence in our work for God's glory. God's Sovereignty Over Nations The lament over Tyre illustrates that no nation or city, regardless of its wealth and power, is beyond God's control and judgment. This calls us to place our trust in God rather than in worldly security. Symbolism of Trees in Scripture Trees like cypress and cedar often symbolize strength, endurance, and prosperity in the Bible. Reflecting on these symbols can deepen our understanding of spiritual truths and God's creation.(5) Ship boards.--Planking for the sides of the ship. The word in the original is in the dual, with reference to its two sides. Senir was the Amorite name of Hermon, or Antilebanon, called by the Sido-nians Sirion (Deuteronomy 3:9). Ezekiel wished to use a foreign name, and the latter may at this time have become obsolete. The timber brought thence for the ship's planking, and called fir, was the same with that furnished by Hiram to Solomon for the floor of the Temple (1Kings 6:15), and may have been either "fir" (spruce?) or cypress. The Scripture names of trees are not always well identified. Both were esteemed among the ancients for ship-building, especially the cypress, on account of its lightness, durability, and freedom from the attacks of worms.Verse 5. - Fir trees of Senti. The name appears in Deuteronomy 3:9 and Song of Solomon 4:8 as Shenir; in 1 Chronicles 5:23 it is spelt as here. From Deuteronomy 3:9 we learn that it was the Amorite name for Hermon, as Sirion was the Sidonian name. In 1 Kings 5:10 Hiram King of Tyro appears as supplying Solomon with the fir and cedar timber mentioned here for the erection of his palace, the house of the forest of Lebanon (1 Kings 7:2). The fir tree was more commonly used for ships, the cedar for houses (Virgil, 'Georg.,' 2:444). The Hebrew for "boards" is unique in its form as a plural with a dual form superadded to indicate that each plank had its counterpart on the other side of the ship. Parallel Commentaries ...
