The Sin of Human Trafficking
Commentators are unanimous that a key part of Tyre's celebrated trade was the horrific practice of human trafficking. Scholars note that Javan (Greece), Tubal, and Meshech (peoples near the Black Sea) were known for supplying slaves. One scholar highlights that the Hebrew for "persons of men" is literally "souls of men," drawing a direct parallel to the evil economic system described in Revelation 18:13.
