Ezekiel 27:6 (WEB)
Context Reading
4Your borders are in the heart of the seas.Your builders have perfected your beauty. 5They have made all your planks of cypress trees from Senir.They have taken a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you. 6They have made your oars of the oaks of Bashan.They have made your benches of ivory inlaid in cypress wood from the islands of Kittim. 7Your sail was of fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt,that it might be to you for a banner.Blue and purple from the islands of Elishah was your awning. 8The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers.Your wise men, Tyre, were in you.They were your pilots.
