Yehezkiel 27:8

27:8 The leaders ¹  of Sidon ²  and Arvad ³  were your rowers;

your skilled ⁴  men, O Tyre, were your captains.

Yehezkiel 32:30

32:30 “All the leaders of the north are there, along with all the Sidonians; despite their might they have gone down in shameful terror with the dead. They lie uncircumcised with those killed by the sword, and bear their shame with those who descend to the pit.

Kejadian 10:15

10:15 Canaan was the father of ⁵  Sidon his firstborn, ⁶  Heth, ⁷ 

[27:8]  ¹ tc The MT reads “the residents of”; the LXX reads “your rulers who dwell in.” With no apparent reason for the LXX to add “the rulers” many suppose something has dropped out of the Hebrew text. While more than one may be possible, Allen’s proposal, positing a word meaning “elders,” is the most likely to explain the omission in the MT from a graphic standpoint and also provides a parallel to the beginning of v. 9. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:81.a parallel to v. 9.

[27:8]  ³ sn Sidon and Arvad, like Tyre, were Phoenician coastal cities.

[27:8]  ⁴ tn Or “wise.”

[10:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “fathered.”

[10:15]  ⁶ sn Sidon was the foremost city in Phoenicia; here Sidon may be the name of its founder.

[10:15]  ⁷ tn Some see a reference to “Hittites” here (cf. NIV), but this seems unlikely. See the note on the phrase “sons of Heth” in Gen 23:3.
