Ezekiel 27:15-16

27:15 The Dedanites ¹  were your clients. Many coastlands were your customers; they paid ²  you with ivory tusks and ebony. 27:16 Edom ³  was your trade partner because of the abundance of your goods; they exchanged turquoise, purple, embroidered work, fine linen, coral, and rubies for your products.

¹ tn Heb “sons of Dedan.”

² tn Heb “they returned as your gift.”

³ tc Many Hebrew mss, Aquila’s Greek translation, and the Syriac version read “Edom.” The LXX reads “man,” a translation which assumes the same consonants as Edom. This reading is supported from the context as the text deals with Damascus, the capital of Syria (Aram), later (in v. 18).
