Context of Ezekiel 27:5

3Tyre is a city on the coast of the sea. From there, traders go across the sea to sell things to people in many other countries. This is what the Almighty Lord says to Tyre: “Tyre, you say that you are completely beautiful. 4Your borders reached into the middle of the sea. Your builders made you like a great ship. They used wood from the pine trees of Senir. They used a cedar tree from Lebanon to make your mast. 6They used oak trees from Bashan to make your oars. They used pine wood from the coasts of Cyprus to make your deck. They made it beautiful with ivory. 7They used good linen from Egypt to make your sail. They made it pretty with many colours. The sail was like a flag that everyone could see. They made tents of cloth to cover your deck. It was blue and purple cloth that came from Cyprus island.
