Who planned this judgement against Tyre? (Isaiah 23:8–9, 11)
View through CrossRef
A detailed study of the oracle concerning Tyre shows that vv 5, 8-9, 11 disturb the general flow of the main poem (23:1-14). The original poem was about the fall of Sidon and it consisted of vv 1b-4, 6-7, 10, 12-14. Sometime later, v 5 was added to include Tyre in a poem where many other Phoenician cities also appeared. This led to the ‘false’ identification of the poem by the editor who gave the poem its heading in v 1a. Subsequently, vv 8-9, 11 were added in the late-exilic period as hypothesized by the present study. The closeness in style and thought of 23:8-9, 11 with 14:26-27 and chs 40-49 supports the late-exilic date of the passage. Finally, sometime during the post-exilic period, 23:15-18 was written to express a hope for Tyre’s revival and even conversion (arguably).
