Ezechiele 27:14 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 27:14

They of the house of Togarmah
The Targum is,

``they of the province or country of Germany.''

Jerom understands it of Phrygia, near to which was Cappadocia; and perhaps is here meant, since it abounded with what these people are said to trade with Tyre in: these traded in thy fairs with horses, horsemen, and mules;
for the Cappadocians paid for their yearly tribute to the Persians fifteen hundred horses, and two thousand mules, as Bochart ^F3 from Strabo observes; and as they sold horses and mules to the Tyrians, so likewise horsemen, men that were skilled in riding and taking care of horses; and these were sold along with the horses, as servants for that purpose.

Ezechiele 27:14 In-Context

12 La gente di Tarsis mercanteggiava teco, con ricchezze d’ogni maniera in abbondanza; frequentavano le tue fiere, con argento, ferro, stagno, e piombo.

13 Que’ di Iavan, di Tubal, e di Mesec, eran tuoi mercatanti; frequentavano i tuoi mercati con anime umane, e vasellamenti di rame.

14 Que’ della casa di Togarma frequentavano le tue fiere con cavalli, e cavalcatori, e muli.

15 I figliuoli di Dedan erano tuoi mercatanti; molte isole passavano per lo traffico delle tue mani; ti pagavano presenti di denti di avorio, e d’ebano.

16 La Siria trafficava teco della moltitudine de’ tuoi lavori; frequentava le tue fiere, con ismeraldi, e porpora, e ricami, e bisso, e coralli, e rubini.
