Guiding Questions: Ezekiel 26

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. The prophet continues the strong criticism of nearby nations and in Ezekiel 26:2, which city/state is mentioned?
  2. Why is there the specific reference to the sea in Ezekiel 26:5?
  3. Who, according to Ezekiel 26:7, will be the agent of the destruction for Tyre?
  4. What classic aspect of sadness and destruction is reflected in the refrain of Ezekiel 26:13?
  5. Would Ezekiel 26:16 indicate that Tyre was a prosperous community?
  6. And, from Ezekiel 26:17-18, would it be correct to describe Tyre as a maritime power?
  7. Ezekiel 26:20 makes reference to those who “go down into the pit” — what would the actual meaning appear to be?
