Revelation 18:12

_ _ (See on Revelation 17:4).

_ _ stones ... pearlsGreek, “stone ... pearl.”

_ _ fine linen — A, B, and C read Greek,bussinou” for “bussou,” that is, “fine linen manufacture” [Alford]. The manufacture for which Egypt (the type of the apostate Church, Revelation 11:8) was famed. Contrast “the fine linen” (Ezekiel 16:10) put on Israel, and on the New Testament Church (Revelation 19:8), the Bride, by God (Psalms 132:9).

_ _ thyine wood — the citrus of the Romans: probably the cypressus thyoyides, or the thuia articulata. “Citron wood” [Alford]. A sweet-smelling tree of Cyrene in Lybia, used for incense.

_ _ all manner vesselsGreek, “every vessel,” or “furniture.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Revelation 18:9-24.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Revelation 18:12

Merchandise of gold, &c. — Almost all these are still in use at Rome, both in their idolatrous service, and in common life. Fine linen — The sort of it mentioned in the original is exceeding costly. Thyine wood — A sweet — smelling wood not unlike citron, used in adorning magnificent palaces. Vessels of most precious wood — Ebony, in particular, which is often mentioned with ivory: the one excelling in whiteness, the other in blackness; and both in uncommon smoothness.
