Arabian, Not Israelite, Traders
Scholars largely agree that "Dan" in this verse does not refer to the Israelite tribe but is part of a place name, "Vedan," likely in Arabia. Similarly, "Javan" here probably refers to an Arabian tribe, not Greece. This detail emphasizes the vast southern reach of Tyre's trade network into the Arabian Peninsula, a hub for valuable goods.
