The name can be interpreted as "backbone of a man" or "giant's backbone," possibly referring to the rugged terrain or the strength of the location as a trading hub.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Ezion-Geber was an important port city during the time of the Israelite monarchy. It served as a key location for trade and maritime activities, particularly during the reigns of King Solomon and King Jehoshaphat. The city was strategically located on the Red Sea, facilitating trade with regions such as Ophir and Sheba.
