COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

15. Dedan —near the Persian Sea: thus an avenue to the commerce of India. Not the Dedan in Arabia ( Ezekiel 27:20 ), as the names in the context here prove, but the Dedan sprung from Cush [BOCHART], ( Genesis 10:7 ). merchandise of thine hand —that is, were dependent on thee for trade [FAIRBAIRN]; came to buy the produce of thy hands [GROTIUS]. a present —literally, "a reward in return"; a price paid for merchandise. horns of ivory —Ivory is so termed from its resemblance to horns. The Hebrew word for "ivory" means "tooth"; so that they cannot have mistaken ivory as if coming from the horns of certain animals, instead of from the tusks of the elephant. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-16" class="com-number"
