Traffic
/TRAF-ik/
Summary
Traffic in Scripture refers to trade and commerce, with Tyre being the prime example of ancient mercantile activity.
☩Ancient Commerce
Ezekiel's oracle against Tyre describes extensive traffic in various goods: silver, iron, tin, lead, slaves, horses, ivory, ebony, emeralds, purple, embroidered work, fine linen, coral, and rubies. This traffic made Tyre wealthy and proud, leading to her judgment. The kings of the earth who grew rich through her traffic will mourn her destruction.
