Ezekiel 27:24

24 Ils trafiquaient avec toi en belles marchandises, En manteaux teints en bleu, en broderies, En riches étoffes contenues dans des coffres Attachés avec des cordes, faits en bois de cèdre, Et amenés sur tes marchés.

Ezekiel 27:24 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 27:24

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 ^F4 used signifies: in blue cloths, and broidered work;
these the Assyrians took of them, a colour in which they much delighted; see ( Ezekiel 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" ^F5; such as chains of gold, wore about the neck; and take the word to be of the sam meaning with that in ( Song of Solomon 1:10 ) .

Ezekiel 27:24 In-Context

22 Les marchands de Séba et de Raema trafiquaient avec toi; De tous les meilleurs aromates, De toute espèce de pierres précieuses et d'or, Ils pourvoyaient tes marchés.

23 Charan, Canné et Eden, Les marchands de Séba, d'Assyrie, de Kilmad, Trafiquaient avec toi;

24 Ils trafiquaient avec toi en belles marchandises, En manteaux teints en bleu, en broderies, En riches étoffes contenues dans des coffres Attachés avec des cordes, faits en bois de cèdre, Et amenés sur tes marchés.

25 Les navires de Tarsis naviguaient pour ton commerce; Tu étais au comble de la richesse et de la gloire, Au coeur des mers.

26 Tes rameurs t'ont fait voguer sur les grandes eaux: Un vent d'orient t'a brisée au coeur des mers.
