id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading"><a href="/study/ezekiel/27.htm">Berean Study Bible</a></div><b>In your marketplace</b><br />The marketplace in ancient times was not just a place of commerce but a hub of cultural exchange and social interaction. The Hebrew word for marketplace, "shuq," implies a bustling environment where goods and ideas were exchanged. In the context of Tyre, a prominent Phoenician city, the marketplace was a symbol of its economic power and influence. This setting underscores the city's wealth and the diversity of its trade connections.<p><b>they traded with you</b><br />The act of trading here is indicative of the extensive network Tyre had established. The Hebrew root "sachar" conveys the idea of commerce and negotiation. Tyre's strategic location along the Mediterranean made it a central trading hub, attracting merchants from various regions. This phrase highlights the city's role as a facilitator of international trade, reflecting its prosperity and the trust other nations placed in its market.<p><b>in choice garments</b><br />The term "choice garments" refers to high-quality clothing, often associated with wealth and status. The Hebrew word "mikhbar" suggests something selected or chosen for its excellence. In ancient cultures, clothing was not only functional but also a statement of identity and prestige. Tyre's access to such luxurious items indicates its affluence and the high standards of its trade goods.<p><b>in clothes of blue</b><br />Blue garments were particularly valued in ancient times due to the rarity and cost of the dye, often derived from the murex snail. The Hebrew word "tekeleth" is associated with this rich blue or purple dye, symbolizing royalty and divinity. Tyre was famous for its production of this dye, known as Tyrian purple, which was sought after by the elite across the ancient world.<p><b>and embroidered work</b><br />Embroidery in ancient textiles was a sign of craftsmanship and artistry. The Hebrew "riqmah" refers to intricate needlework, often involving patterns and designs that required skill and creativity. Such items were not only functional but also decorative, reflecting the cultural and artistic achievements of the society that produced them.<p><b>and in carpets of multicolored yarn</b><br />Carpets and textiles with multicolored yarn were luxury items, indicating wealth and sophistication. The Hebrew "karpas" suggests a fabric of fine quality, often used in decorative and ceremonial contexts. The use of multiple colors would have required advanced dyeing techniques and artistic design, showcasing the technological and artistic capabilities of Tyre's craftsmen.<p><b>bound with cords and tightly knotted</b><br />This phrase emphasizes the durability and quality of the textiles. The Hebrew "chabash" (bound) and "qashar" (knotted) suggest a meticulous process of construction, ensuring the strength and longevity of the fabric. Such attention to detail reflects the high standards of Tyre's goods and the city's reputation for excellence in craftsmanship.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/ezekiel/27.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(24) <span class= "bld">All sorts of things.--</span>The margin, <span class= "ital">excellent things,</span> is better. The word means "that which is perfect." In <a href="/ezekiel/23-12.htm" title="She doted on the Assyrians her neighbors, captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.">Ezekiel 23:12</a> it is "most gorgeously," and in <a href="/ezekiel/38-4.htm" title="And I will turn you back, and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you forth, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armor, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:">Ezekiel 38:4</a>, as here, "all sorts."

Hebrew, <span class="accented">articles of beauty</span>; or, as in margin of the Authorized Version, "excellent things." The words have been variously interpreted, <p><span class="note_emph">(1)</span> by Ewald, as "suits of armor;" <p><span class="note_emph">(2)</span> by Keil, as "stately dresses;" <p>by Havernick, as "works of art" generally. The description in detail that follows is so vivid as to give the impression that Ezekiel had seen the merchants of Sheba unloading their camels and bringing out their treasures as they arrived at Tyro. The blue clothes (<span class="accented">wrappings of blue, as</span> in the Revised Version) were the purple robes of Babylon, which were famous all over the world. The words that follow are somewhat obscure, but are probably rightly translated by Keil, "embroidered of twisted yarn, in-wound, and strong cords for thy wares." The yarn may have been used for the cordage of the Tyrian ships. The words, <span class="cmt_word">made of cedar</span>, are in this rendering taken as an adjective, equivalent to "firm" or "strong" (so Furst). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/27-24.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">In your marketplace</span><br /><span class="heb">בְּמַרְכֻלְתֵּֽךְ׃</span> <span class="translit">(bə·mar·ḵul·têḵ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-b | Noun -
