Language

re.khul.lah denotes commercial dealings or goods associated with wealth, plunder, and injustice.

The attested construct-singular uses concern commercial dealings or goods: they are linked with increased wealth, can be plundered, and are described in settings of violence and injustice.

Senses in use

  1. Commercial dealings and their goods · dominant

    All four attestations are construct-singular noun forms in clauses about commercial wealth and its consequences. In Ezekiel 28:5 the APB renders a clause in which such activity increases wealth; in Ezekiel 26:12 it is among what is looted, while Ezekiel 28:16 and Ezekiel 28:18 place it in clauses concerning violence and injustice.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with “merchandise” in each cited verse, whether discussing wealth, plunder, violence, or injustice. This rendering confirms the clauses' commercial setting rather than isolating every nuance of the Hebrew term.
