The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
Note Revelation 17:4.
Stones - Greek, 'stone ... pearl.'
Fine linen. A B C read х bussinou (G1039) for bussow], 'fine linen manufacture' ['Aleph ('), plural, bussinoon (G1039)]: the manufacture for which Egypt (type of the apostate church, Revelation 11:8) was famed. Contrast 'the fine linen' (Ezekiel 16:10) put on Israel, and on the New Testament Church (Revelation 19:8), the Bride, by God (Psalms 132:9).
Thyine wood - the citrus of the Romans; found in Mauretania: probably the Callitris quadrivalvis, or thuia articulata. Pliny says there was a mania for tables of this wood. When Roman ladies were upbraided by their husbands for extravagance in pearls, they retorted the men's fondness for thyine tables.
All manner vessels - `every vessel;' 'furniture.'
