Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 27:19

_ _ Dan also — None of the other places enumerated commence with the copula (“also”; Hebrew, ve). Moreover, the products specified, “cassia, calamus,” apply rather to places in Arabia. Therefore, Fairbairn translates, “Vedan”; perhaps the modern Aden, near the straits of Bab-el-man-deb. Grotius refers it to Dana, mentioned by Ptolemy.

_ _ Javan — not the Greeks of Europe or Asia Minor, but of a Greek settlement in Arabia.

_ _ going to and fro — rather, as Hebrew admits, “from Uzal.” This is added to “Javan,” to mark which Javan is meant (Genesis 10:27). The metropolis of Arabia Felix, or Yemen; called also Sanaa [Bochart]. English Version gives a good sense, thus: All peoples, whether near as the Israelite “Dan,” or far as the Greeks or “Javan,” who were wont to “go to and fro” from their love of traffic, frequented thy marts, bringing bright iron, etc., these products not being necessarily represented as those of Dan or Javan.

_ _ bright iron — Yemen is still famed for its sword blades.

_ _ calamus — aromatic cane.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 27:1-25.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes
