### Note

A counted person or a mover with speed; «rowers per boat» is a rate, so total = boats × rowers per boat. Trap: going with a river current goes faster than against it. Pronounced to rhyme with «grower» (from «row» a boat).

## In Jewish tradition

Ezekiel pictures proud Tyre as a splendid ship whose rowers bring it into a storm.

**Interpretation.** Ezekiel's ship of Tyre is read as a warning that pride and wealth can be wrecked suddenly by God.

### Examples
