"And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her a bare rock." — Ezekiel 26:4 (ASV)
Her dust. — Compare to Ezekiel 26:12. The dust is that of her ruined walls and palaces and temples. “Scraping” expresses their utter destruction. As a historic fact, the ruins of the ancient city have all been thrown into the sea. What now remains is of medieval construction, although the greater part of even the medieval ruins has been carried away.
