Yehezkiel 27:13-16

27:13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your clients; they exchanged slaves and bronze items for your merchandise. 27:14 Beth Togarmah exchanged horses, chargers, ¹  and mules for your products. 27:15 The Dedanites ²  were your clients. Many coastlands were your customers; they paid ³  you with ivory tusks and ebony. 27:16 Edom ⁴  was your trade partner because of the abundance of your goods; they exchanged turquoise, purple, embroidered work, fine linen, coral, and rubies for your products.

[27:14]  ¹ tn The way in which these horses may have been distinguished from other horses is unknown. Cf. ASV “war-horses” (NASB, NIV, NRSV, CEV all similar); NLT “chariot horses.”

[27:15]  ² tn Heb “sons of Dedan.”

[27:15]  ³ tn Heb “they returned as your gift.”

[27:16]  ⁴ tc Many Hebrew mss, Aquila’s Greek translation, and the Syriac version read “Edom.” The LXX reads “man,” a translation which assumes the same consonants as Edom. This reading is supported from the context as the text deals with Damascus, the capital of Syria (Aram), later (in v. 18).
