Context Reading
4Your borders are in the heart of the seas; your builders perfected your beauty. 5They constructed all your planking with cypress from Senir. They took a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you. 6Of oaks from Bashan they made your oars; of wood from the coasts of Cyprus they made your deck, inlaid with ivory. 7Of embroidered fine linen from Egypt they made your sail, which served as your banner. Of blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah they made your awning. 8The men of Sidon and Arvad were your oarsmen. Your men of skill, O Tyre, were there as your captains.
