יחזקאל, פרק כ״ח, פסוק כ״א

Following a severe warning of destruction for the powerful city of Tyre, the focus shifts to a neighboring target. The progression of judgment moves geographically and historically, linking the fates of adjacent nations.

The sequence of these warnings is carefully planned. The fall of Sidon happened as a direct result of Tyre's collapse. This chain of events, where the ruin of one city triggers the downfall of the next, represents a consistent historical and prophetic pattern also seen in the Book of Isaiah [מלבי״ם].

As God gives this new instruction, He addresses Ezekiel with a familiar title that highlights the prophet's human nature, a standard greeting used throughout his mission [רד״ק]. God then tells him to physically turn and point his gaze straight toward Sidon. This movement is a necessary preparation. By locking his eyes directly on the city, the prophet readies himself to deliver the harsh message meant for its people [מצודת דוד].
