Ezekiel 27-30: Textual Variations, Satan, and the King of Tyre

Join Christopher Enoch for an in-depth, verse-by-verse study of Ezekiel chapters 27, 28, 29, and 30. In this stream, we compare four major manuscript families: the Masoretic Hebrew, the Greek Septuagint (LXX), the Aramaic Syriac Peshitta, and the Latin Vulgate. Discover the truth behind Ezekiel 28—is it really describing the fall of Satan, or is it a condemnation of the historical King of Tyre? We also look at common scribal errors (like the confusion of Resh and Dalet) that altered biblical geography, and examine what classical Jewish commentators like Rashi and Ibn Ezra wrote about these passages.
