King James Translators' Notes

all...: or, excellent things

clothes: Heb. foldings

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

24. all sorts of things-Hebrew, "perfections"; exquisite articles of finery [Grotius].

clothes-rather, "mantles" or "cloaks"; literally, "wrappings." For "blue," Henderson translates, "purple."

chests of rich apparel, bound with cords-treasures or repositories of damask stuffs, consisting of variegated threads woven together in figures [Henderson].

cedar-The "chests" were made of cedar, in order to last the longer; and it also keeps off decay and has a sweet odor.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

27:1-25 Those who live at ease are to be lamented, if they are not prepared for trouble. Let none reckon themselves beautified, any further than they are sanctified. The account of the trade of Tyre intimates, that God's eye is upon men when employed in worldly business. Not only when at church, praying and hearing, but when in markets and fairs, buying and selling. In all our dealings we should keep a conscience void of offence. God, as the common Father of mankind, makes one country abound in one commodity, and another in another, serviceable to the necessity or to the comfort and ornament of human life. See what a blessing trade and merchandise are to mankind, when followed in the fear of God. Besides necessaries, an abundance of things are made valuable only by custom; yet God allows us to use them. But when riches increase, men are apt to set their hearts upon them, and forget the Lord, who gives power to get wealth.
