Wool
        was an article of the highest value among the Jews, as the staple material for the manufacture of clothing. Le 13:47; De 22:11; Job 31:20; Pr 31:13; Eze 34:3; Ho 2:5 The importance of wool is incidentally shown by the notice that Mesha's tribute was paid in a certain number of rams "with the wool." 2Ki 3:1 The wool of Damascus was highly prized in the mart of Tyre. Eze 27:18
