Berean Standard Bible

Ezekiel 27:6-15

6Of oaks from Bashan they made your oars; of wood from the coasts of Cyprus1 they made your deck, inlaid with ivory.7Of embroidered fine linen from Egypt they made your sail, which served as your banner. Of blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah they made your awning.

8The men of Sidon and Arvadwere your oarsmen.Your men of skill, O Tyre,were there as your captains.9The elders of Gebal were aboard as shipwrights,repairing your leaks.All the ships of the sea and their sailorscame alongside to barter for your merchandise.

10Men of Persia, Lydia, and Putserved as warriors in your army.They hung their shields and helmets on your walls;they gave you splendor.11Men of Arvad and Helechmanned your walls all around,and the men of Gammadwere in your towers.They hung their shields around your walls;they perfected your beauty.

12Tarshish was your merchant because of your great wealth of goods; they exchanged silver, iron, tin, and lead for your wares. 13Javan,2 Tubal, and Meshech were your merchants. They exchanged slaves and bronze utensils for your merchandise. 14The men of Beth-togarmah exchanged horses, war horses, and mules for your wares. 15The men of Dedan3 were your clients; many coastlands were your market; they paid you with ivory tusks and ebony.
