Alexander throws mainland Tyre into the sea to build a causeway to the island.
In plain words
Alexander throws the old mainland city of Tyre into the sea to build a road to the island: Ezekiel's stones and timber laid in the water, come to pass centuries later. It is a reading, kept beside the book's own admission about Babylon's siege.
The mechanism
PLANTED / PAID, LITERALLY — the island he could not sail to fell to a road made out of its own body
Scripture
Ezekiel 26
