Ezekiel 27:20

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

Dedan was thy merchant in precious cloths for chariots. Or, "cloths of freedom" ; such as freemen and even nobles wore; and yet so extravagant were the Tyrians, that they bought these to line or cover their chariots with; this is different from the Dedan in Eze 27:15, and is either Dedan in Edom or Idumea, Jer 49:8, or in Arabia, the inhabitants of which descended from Dedan, a grandson of Abraham, Ge 25:3, which agrees with the following.

vpx ydgbb "pannis libertatis", Vatablus, Piscator; "ingenuorem", Junius & Tremellius. So Ben Melech, and R. Sol. Urbin. Ohel Moed, fol. 30.
