These items were luxury goods in the ancient world, often associated with wealth and opulence. Cinnamon and spice were highly valued for their rarity and use in perfumes and anointing oils. Incense and myrrh were used in religious rituals, symbolizing prayers rising to God (<a href="/psalms/141-2.htm">Psalm 141:2</a>). Frankincense, a gift brought to Jesus by the Magi (<a href="/matthew/2-11.htm">Matthew 2:11</a>), signifies divinity and worship. The mention of these items highlights the material wealth and spiritual corruption of Babylon, representing a world system opposed to God.of wine, olive oil, fine flour, and wheat; These are staples of the Mediterranean diet, essential for daily life and religious offerings (<a href="/leviticus/2.htm">Leviticus 2:1-16</a>). Wine and olive oil were symbols of joy and prosperity (<a href="/psalms/104-15.htm">Psalm 104:15</a>). The abundance of these goods in Babylon signifies economic prosperity but also indulgence and excess. The reference to fine flour and wheat connects to the sustenance and basic needs of life, which Babylon exploited for luxury rather than sustenance.of cattle, sheep, horses, and carriages; These animals were crucial for agriculture, transportation, and trade. Cattle and sheep were used for sacrifices and food, while horses and carriages indicate military power and wealth. The accumulation of such resources in Babylon suggests a focus on earthly power and security, contrasting with reliance on God. The imagery may evoke the wealth of Solomon's kingdom (<a href="/1_kings/10-26.htm">1 Kings 10:26-29</a>), which ultimately led to idolatry and division.of bodies and souls of slaves. This phrase underscores the dehumanizing aspect of Babylon's commerce, where people are reduced to commodities. The mention of both bodies and souls highlights the total exploitation and moral decay inherent in the system. Slavery was a common practice in the Roman Empire, and this critique aligns with biblical themes of liberation and justice (<a href="/exodus/21-16.htm">Exodus 21:16</a>, <a href="/galatians/3-28.htm">Galatians 3:28</a>).

These constitute the third class (see on ver. 12). Cinnamon, an Indian tree, was in use in the Levitical ritual (<a href="/exodus/30-23.htm">Exodus 30:23</a>). It is referred to as a perfume in <a href="/proverbs/7-17.htm">Proverbs 7:17</a>. Amomon, which is emitted in the Textus Receptus, is found in א, A, C. P, etc. It is rendered in the Revised Version by "spice." Its use was similar to that of cinnamon. Its seeds are used under the name "cardamoms." And wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat. These form the fourth class (see on ver. 12; cf. <a href="/leviticus/2-1.htm">Leviticus 2:1, 2</a>). And beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves; and cattle, etc. The word rendered "slaves" is σωμάτων, "bodies," i.e. slaves. At the word "horses" the nouns are again placed in the genitive (see on ver. 12). These form the fifth class (see on ver. 12). "Chariots," δέδη, is not the word used in <a href="/revelation/9-9.htm">Revelation 9:9</a>. It is a word probably of Gaulish origin. And souls of men. The accusative again. Not in the ordinary acceptation of the word "souls," but rather "lives of men," as the Revised Version margin; that is, "living men." It is probable that the two expressions, "bodies" (vide supra) and "souls of men," refer to two classes of slaves. <a href="/commentaries/revelation/18-13.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>of cinnamon, κιννάμωμον (kinnamōmon) Noun - Accusative Neuter Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_2792.htm">Strong's 2792: </a> (a Semitic word) cinnamon.
