Ezekiel 27:17

Eze 27:17 Judah, and the land of Israel, they [were] thy merchants: they traded in thy market wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm.

Ver. 17. Wheat of Minnith. ] Where the best grew, even the kidneys of wheat, as Moses hath it. Deu 32:14 cf. Jdg 11:33 Act 12:20

Pannag. ] Rosin or balsam, whereof Judea yielded the best in the whole world.

For the wine of Helbon, ] i.e., Of Aleppo, say some, famous then for wine, now for milk, whence also it hath its name, for the Turks call milk alep; and if the Via lactea Milky Way were on earth, it would be found there, saith one.
