Guiding Questions: Isaiah 23

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

Why would boats be associated with “Tzor”?
Does the language of Isaiah 23 resemble more the construct of Isaiah 22 (which deals with Jerusalem) or with Isaiah 20-21 (which deal with “foreign states”)?
According to Isaiah 23:9, Who or What is responsible for the destruction of Tzor and Tzidon?
In Isaiah 23:15-16, to what immoral exemplar is Tzor compared?
With what final refrain does the chapter end (Isaiah 23:18)?
