EZEKIEL 27:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they were thy merchants: they occupied in thy fairs with chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold.”
The merchants of Sheba, Raamah, and Saba were your merchants; they exchanged for you gold, precious stones, and spices, reinforcing the Sabaean contribution and emphasizing the luxury goods that these traders brought. The South Arabian kingdoms represented the wealthiest sources of spices and precious materials in the ancient world, making them essential partners in Tyre's commercial supremacy. The enumeration of these far-flung traders demonstrates that Tyre's wealth ultimately depended on access to the world's most valuable materials.
