Ezekiel 27:17 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Judah, and the land of Israel, they were thy merchants: they traded in thy market wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm.

Judah, and the land of Israel ... were thy merchants: they traded in thy market wheat of Minnith, and Pannag - names of places in Israel famed for good wheat, wherewith Tyre was supplied (1 Kings 5:9; 1 Kings 5:11; Ezra 3:7; Acts 12:2); Minnith was formerly an Ammonite city (Judges 11:33). "Pannag" is identified by Grotius with 'Phenice,' the Greek name for Canaan. "They traded ... wheat" - i:e., they supplied thy market with wheat.

Balm - or, 'balsam.'
