14 Those from the house of ^aTogarmah traded for your wares with horses, steeds, and mules.

15 The men of ^aDedan were your traders; many isles were the market of your hand. They brought you ivory tusks and ebony as payment.

16 Syria was your merchant because of the abundance of goods you made. They gave you for your wares emeralds, purple, embroidery, fine linen, corals, and rubies.

17 Judah and the land of Israel were your traders. They traded for your merchandise wheat of ^aMinnith, millet, honey, oil, and ^bbalm.

18 Damascus was your merchant because of the abundance of goods you made, because of your many luxury items, with the wine of Helbon and with white wool.

19 Dan and Javan paid for your wares, traversing back and forth. Wrought iron, cassia, and cane were among your merchandise.
