Ezekiel 27:28

the suburbs According to tradition (Baer, Ezek.) the term here is differently pointed from that rendered "suburbs," e.g. ch. Ezekiel 45:2. The latter term means the free space surrounding a city or building. If the sense of the present word were the same reference would be to the lands or coasts in the vicinity of Tyre, a sense far from natural. Jerome conjectured "fleets" (Ew.). In Isaiah 57:20 the verb describes the violent action of the waters of the sea (Amos 8:8), and A. V. marg. suggests waveshere the waves shall quake at the cry of thy pilots.
