merchant, trader (from the ethnic designation Canaanite)
This term for merchant derives from the ethnic name 'Canaanite,' reflecting the Phoenician/Canaanite reputation for trade and commerce. By semantic extension, 'Canaanite' came to mean 'merchant' or 'trader' generally. The usage appears in Proverbs 31:24, where the capable wife sells garments to merchants, and Zechariah 14:21, declaring no merchant will remain in the temple. Some textual traditions suggest emending passages like Zechariah 11:7, 11 from 'afflicted' to 'merchants,' though this remains disputed.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — A trader or merchant, derived from the ethnic designation because Canaanites/Phoenicians were renowned traders. This semantic shift reflects historical economic reality - the coastal peoples' dominance in commerce made their ethnic name synonymous with trading. In Zechariah's eschatological vision, removing merchants from the temple emphasizes the complete holiness of that future age, where sacred space remains uncompromised by commercial activity. 2×
