ebony, a hard, dark, valuable wood
This word refers to ebony, a dense black wood prized in the ancient world for furniture and luxury items. Ezekiel 27:15 lists it among the trade goods brought to Tyre: 'They brought you ivory tusks and ebony as payment.' The Qere/Ketiv variants show textual uncertainty in spelling, but both point to this exotic wood imported from distant regions (Ethiopia, India). Ebony's inclusion in Tyre's trade inventory illustrates the far-reaching commercial networks of the ancient Mediterranean.

1. sense 1 — The glosses ('ebony, ébano, ébène') identify this luxury wood, though some translations struggled with the textual variant. Ezekiel 27:15 describes it as tribute/payment brought to Tyre alongside ivory, both precious materials from distant lands. The Ketiv/Qere difference reflects scribal uncertainty about the spelling of this foreign loanword (possibly from Egyptian). The context makes clear it's a valuable commodity in international trade, symbolizing Tyre's wealth and far-flung commerce. 2×
