EZEKIEL 27:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Damascus was thy merchant in the multitude of the wares of thy making, for the multitude of all riches; in the wine of Helbon, and white wool.”
Damascus was your merchant in wine from Helbon and white wool, and wine from Zahar and cassia and calamus from Kedar were exchanged for you in your wares, continuing the enumeration with goods from Syria and Arab regions. The specificity of wine origins (Helbon) and the detail about white wool indicate that Tyre traders recognized and paid premium prices for distinctive regional products. The inclusion of spices (cassia, calamus) demonstrates that Tyre served as a spice hub connecting Arabian and Mediterranean markets.
