wrapping, luxurious garment or mantle
This Persian loanword denotes expensive woven garments, appearing in Ezekiel's catalog of Tyre's luxury trade. The 'garments of blue' were prized commodities in ancient Mediterranean commerce. The word's Persian origin (through Aramaic) reflects the international nature of Tyre's mercantile empire, where exotic textiles from across the Near East changed hands.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Ezekiel 27:24 lists these blue mantles among Tyre's treasures—bound cords and cedar chests filled with textile wealth. The Persian loanword signals these weren't local products but imported luxury goods. The multilingual evidence shows translators grappling with this rare term: some render it generically as 'garments' or 'clothing', while the Hebrew emphasizes the wrapping or enfolding quality of these valuable textiles. 1×
