The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they were your merchants; they exchanged for you the finest of all spices, and all precious stones, and gold, introducing traders from even more distant regions (southern Arabia and East Africa) who brought the rarest and most valuable goods. Spices and precious stones represented the ultimate luxuries of the ancient world, traded over vast distances and commanding extraordinary prices. The mention of gold emphasizes that Tyre's commerce reached the wealthiest regions of the known world.
