Ezekiel’s Prophecy on Tyre (Ez. 26,1-28,19)
A New Approach
By (author) H.J. Van Dijk
To clear up the manifold obscurities and problems of the text of Ezekiel, the first device which commentators have resorted to, is emendation or interpretation of the Hebrew text on the basis of the ancient versions and especially of the LXX. The second is a literary approach, consisting in cutting out bigger or smaller portions from the text, to meet the poetical requirements favoured by commentators. This study follows a third method, based on a firm belief in the substantial reliability of the consonantal Hebrew text, and availing itself of the new material of both lexical and syntactical nature uncovered by comparative Canaanite and Semitic studies. The author studies Ezekiel’s prophecy on Tyre, but, in as far as seems desirable, he applies his solutions to other biblical texts as well.
