Commentary on Ezekiel 27:19

Theological / Devotional

Dan. There seems to be no satisfactory explanation for the mention of this small, unimportant town. The name does not appear in the LXX and on this basis is omitted in the RSV.

Javan. Heb. yawan, which should probably read yayin, “wine” (see LXX; RSV).

Going to and fro. Heb. me’uzzal, which, with a change in vowel pointing, may be translated “from Uzal,” an unidentified place in Arabia (see Gen. 10:27).

Cassia, and calamus. Both of these were ingredients of the holy anointing oil for the priests (Ex. 30:23, 24).
