Ezekiel 27:4

Eze 27:4 Thy borders [are] in the midst of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty.

Ver. 4. Thy borders are in the midst of the sea. ] Wherewith thou art compassed and crowned, as it were, Isa 23:8 being half a mile distant from the continent, till first Nebuchadnezzar, and then Alexander the Great, by casting earth, wood, and stones into the sea, made of it an island, a peninsula, &c.

Thy builders. ] The Sidonians, saith Justin; a 240 years before Solomon’s temple was built, saith Josephus. b
