Ezekiel 27:24

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

These were thy merchants in all sorts of things,.... Either all before mentioned throughout the chapter, or rather those only in the preceding verse; also these were merchants in various things after mentioned, and which were the best and most perfect of the kind, as the word used signifies:in blue cloths, and broidered work; these the Assyrians took of them, a colour in which they much delighted; see Eze 23:6:and in chests of rich apparel bound with cords, and made of cedar, among thy merchandise; rich apparel, such as scarlet cloaks, as the Targum, and blue cloths as before; these were well packed up in chests made of "cedar", which they had from Lebanon, and so fit to be put on board a ship, and carried into any part of the world.

The Targum adds,"and sealed with a signet;''as things well packed up and bound sometimes are, being of worth and value. Some render it, "in chains"; or, "chains were among thy merchandise" ; such as chains of gold, wore about the neck; and take the word to be of the sam meaning with that in So 1:10.
