The uncircumcised. — To the Jew this term conveyed all, and more than all, the opprobrium which the Greeks and Romans attached to barbarians. (Comp. Ezekiel 31:18; Ezekiel 32:19; Ezekiel 32:21; Ezekiel 32:24, &c.) It is equivalent to saying “the profane and impious.”

Ezekiel 28:11 contain the doom upon the prince of Tyre. He is represented as like the first man, perfect, and placed in Eden, until, upon his fall (Ezekiel 28:15), he is ignominiously driven forth. The passage is strongly ironical.
