“The men of Rhodes
Traded with you.
Many coastlands
Were your own
Special markets.
They brought you
In payment
Ivory tusks
With ebony.”
Ezekiel continued with his tour of the trading partners of Tyre. Rhodes was another Mediterranean island northeast of Crete. They traded with Tyre. Many of the coastland towns were specialty markets for Tyre. Some even traded ivory and ebony with Tyre.
