EZEKIEL 27:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad, were thy merchants.”
Haran, Canneh, Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Kimchi, they were your merchants, introducing Mesopotamian and Syrian trading centers into the enumeration. These cities—Haran, Canneh, Eden—were ancient trade hubs in their own right, suggesting that Tyre competed with or coordinated with other significant commercial centers. The inclusion of Asshur indicates that even the Assyrian empire, which would later conquer the region, participated in Tyre's commercial networks.
