   commerce in gen. 13:2; 23:15, 16. it was largely employed for
   making vessels for the sanctuary in the wilderness ex. 26:19;
   27:17; num. 7:13, 19; 10:2. there is no record of its having
   been found in syria or palestine. it was brought in large
   quantities by foreign merchants from abroad, from spain and
   india and other countries probably.
