6 Of oaks of Bashan
they made your oars;
they made your deck of pines
from the coasts of Cyprus,
inlaid with ivory.
7 Of fine embroidered linen from Egypt
was your sail,
serving as your ensign;
blue and purple from the coasts of Eli′shah
was your awning.
8 The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad
were your rowers;
skilled men of Zemer[a] were in you,
they were your pilots.
