Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 5184: Τύρος Τύρος, Τύρου, ἡ (Hebrew צור or צֹר; from Aramaic טוּר, a rock), Tyre, a Phoenician city on the Mediterranean, very ancient, large, splendid, flourishing in commerce, and powerful by land and sea. In the time of Christ and the apostles it was subject to the Romans, but continued to possess considerable wealth and prosperity down to A.D. 1291. It is at present an obscure little place containing some five thousand inhabitants, part Mohammedans part Christians, with a few Jews (cf. Bädeker's Palestine, p. 425f; (Murray's, op. cit., p. 370f)). It is mentioned Acts 21:3, 7, and (in company with Sidon) in Matthew 11:21; Matthew 15:21; Luke 6:17; Luke 10:13; Mark 3:8; Mark 7:24 (where T omits; Tr marginal reading WH brackets καί Σιδῶνος), 31. (BB. DD.) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Semitic root צור (ṣūr), meaning "rock" or "fortress." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H6865 צוֹר (Tsor): The Hebrew name for Tyre, used in the Old Testament to refer to the same city. Usage: The term "Tyre" is used in the New Testament to refer to the ancient city, often in the context of Jesus' ministry and the broader narrative of the Gospel. It is mentioned in relation to its historical significance and its interactions with Israel. Context: Tyre was a prominent city in ancient Phoenicia, renowned for its strategic coastal position and its role as a major center of trade and commerce. The city was originally built on an island and later expanded to the mainland. Tyre is frequently mentioned in the Old Testament, where it is noted for its wealth, skilled artisans, and as a significant maritime power. The prophets often spoke against Tyre, condemning its pride and predicting its downfall (e.g., Isaiah 23, Ezekiel 26-28). In the New Testament, Tyre is mentioned in the context of Jesus' ministry. In Matthew 15:21-28 and Mark 7:24-30, Jesus travels to the region of Tyre and Sidon, where He encounters a Canaanite woman whose daughter is possessed by a demon. This interaction highlights the extension of Jesus' ministry beyond the Jewish people to the Gentiles. Additionally, in Acts 21:3-7, Paul visits Tyre during his missionary journeys, where he meets with the disciples and is warned by the Holy Spirit about the dangers awaiting him in Jerusalem. Tyre's historical and prophetic significance is underscored by its depiction as a symbol of human pride and eventual divine judgment. Despite its former glory, the city serves as a reminder of the transient nature of earthly power and wealth.
