Ezekiel 26:6

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"And her daughters that are in the field shall be slain with the sword: and they shall know that I am Jehovah." — Ezekiel 26:6 (ASV)

Daughters which are in the field. — Compare to Ezekiel 26:8. This is a poetic way of describing the dependencies of Tyre upon the mainland.

In Ezekiel 26:7-11 the particular and now impending conquest by Nebuchadnezzar is graphically described, and then, with the change to the plural in Ezekiel 26:12, there seems to be a looking forward again to the long vista of successive devastations.
