Ezekiel 27:14 Summary
This verse, Ezekiel 27:14, describes how the men of Beth-togarmah traded horses, war horses, and mules with the city of Tyre in exchange for other valuable goods. This shows how different regions and cities relied on each other for the things they needed, much like how we rely on others for certain products or services today (see also Genesis 37:25-28 for another example of trade). The Bible teaches us to be wise and fair in our business dealings, as seen in verses like Proverbs 11:1, which says that the Lord detests dishonest scales. By being mindful of our interactions with others and striving to be fair and honest, we can build strong, healthy relationships and communities.

Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 27:14
They of the house of Togarmah,.... The Targum is, "they of the province or country of Germany.'' Jerom understands it of Phrygia, near to which was Cappadocia; and perhaps is here meant, since it
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 27:14
They of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses and horsemen and mules. They of the house of Togarmah - Armenia: descended from Gomer (Genesis 10:3).
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 27:14
Of the house; of the country. Togarmah; Armenia the Lesser, or Phrygia, Galatia, or Cappadocia, or Paphlagonia; all which countries, as they are neighbours to each other, so they abounded in horses; and as they had many for number, so they had good for quality, and furnished their neighbours; it is reported the Cappadocians paid two thousand horses yearly tribute to the Persians. And as they bordered on each other, it is likely they might be reckoned thus together. Horsemen; it is like with either many horses, or some choice ones, which they sold, they might sell their grooms, as best able to manage and keep those horses. Mules; the countries above mentioned, especially Cappadocia, had many mules, which they sold to their neighbours. Mules, which are a mixed creature of a mare and he-ass.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 27:14
Ezekiel 27:14 They of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses and horsemen and mules.Ver. 14. They of the house of Togarmah,] i.e., The Germans, saith the Targum, who are still excellent horsemen. The Jews call the Turks the house of Togarmah.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 27:14
(14) Togarmah.—A name for the Armenians, a race of Japhetic descent (Genesis 10:3). They dealt from most ancient times in horses and asses.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 27:14
Verse 14. Togarmah] The Sarmatians. Some think Cappadocia. With these they dealt in horses, mules, and horsemen; or probably draught horses and war horses are intended.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 27:14
14. house of Togarmah] Usually supposed to be Armenia or part of it. Togarmah lay in the extreme N. of the world known to the prophet, and the people appears in the army of Gog with other nations from the ends of the earth (ch. Ezekiel 38:6; cf. Genesis 10:2). Others think of Phrygia or Cappadocia. All these countries were noted for breeding horses. traded in thy fairs with horses] brought as thy wares, or, commodities, horses, &c. Horsemen can hardly have been an article of traffic; if the word be original war horses may be intended; 2 Samuel 1:6. The ancients did not use the horse for labour. LXX. omits mules, a somewhat similar word, and possibly (as Corn, conjectures) only two words should be read: horses and mules.
Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 27:14
14. Togarmah — Most scholars locate it in Armenia, which was noted in the ancient world for its horses and mules. The Armenians are said to call themselves “the house of the Thorgom” (Orelli).
