📚 Historical Context

In the book of Ezekiel, written during the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BC, the prophet describes the wealth and extensive trade networks of Tyre, a powerful Phoenician city. Togarmah refers to an ancient people from the region of Anatolia (modern-day Turkey), known for their expertise in horses and cavalry, who supplied these goods to Tyre's markets. This verse is part of a larger prophecy warning of Tyre's downfall due to its overreliance on commerce.
