Ezekiel 27:15
_ _ Dedan — near the Persian Sea: thus an avenue to the commerce of India. Not the Dedan in Arabia (Ezekiel 27:20), as the names in the context here prove, but the Dedan sprung from Cush [Bochart], (Genesis 10:7).
_ _ merchandise of thine hand — that is, were dependent on thee for trade [Fairbairn]; came to buy the produce of thy hands [Grotius].
_ _ a present — literally, “a reward in return”; a price paid for merchandise.
_ _ horns of ivory — Ivory is so termed from its resemblance to horns. The Hebrew word for “ivory” means “tooth”; so that they cannot have mistaken ivory as if coming from the horns of certain animals, instead of from the tusks of the elephant. |
