John Trapp on Ezekiel 27:21-23

Ver. 21. They occupied with thee in lambs] Heb. they were the merchants of thy hand, or at thy hand: for cattle could not be carried far.

In theſe were they thy Merchants] Merchants are as uſeful in a Common-wealth, as Mechanikes, for exporting and importing commodities. Only they muſt obſerve the Goſpel-ſtandard, Whatever ye would that men ſhould do to you, do ye the ſame to them.

Oecol.Ver. 22. The Merchants of Sheba and Raamah] i. e. Ethiopians and Indians. Erat enim Tyrus emporium propemodum totius mundi.

With chief of all ſpices] All aromatical wares. Pliny reports of cinnamon, that in his time a pound of it was worth a thouſand denarii, that is 150. crowns of our mony. Gallen writeth, that it was hard to be found, except in the ſtorehouſes of great Princes.

The tower of Babel was 9164 paces from the ground.Ver. 23. Haran] In Meſopotamia, or Charra in Parthia; where Craſſus was ſlain.

And Channeh] Or Chalne: where the tower of Babel was built nine miles high.

And Eden] Where Paradiſe once was: ſed periit roſae, manſit ſpina.

Chelmad] i. e. Media, ſaith the Paraphraſt.
