This noun refers to articles of commerce, the goods that traveling merchants offer for sale. Ezekiel uses it in his elaborate oracle against Tyre, cataloging the many peoples who brought their merchandise to this great trading hub. The term appears in construct form, 'the merchandise of,' linking various nations to their commercial offerings. Tyre's wealth came from being a nexus of international trade, and this word captures the constant flow of goods through its markets. The city's fall would mean not just political collapse but the end of this vast commercial network.
