Pannag is a term mentioned in the Bible in the context of trade and commerce, specifically in the book of Ezekiel. The reference to pannag is found in Ezekiel 27:17, which describes the extensive trade network of the ancient city of Tyre. The verse reads: "Judah and Israel were your merchants; they exchanged wheat from Minnith, meal, honey, oil, and balm for your merchandise" . In some translations, the term "pannag" is used instead of "meal," leading to various interpretations and discussions among scholars and theologians.

The exact nature of pannag is not definitively known, and its identification has been a subject of debate. Some scholars suggest that pannag might refer to a specific type of grain or cereal product, possibly a kind of pastry or cake made from fine flour. Others propose that it could be a regional name for a particular agricultural product or a processed food item that was traded by the Israelites.

The mention of pannag in the context of trade highlights the economic interactions between the Israelites and the Phoenicians, with Tyre being a major hub of commerce in the ancient Near East. This trade relationship underscores the interconnectedness of ancient civilizations and the role of Israel as a participant in regional trade networks.

From a theological perspective, the inclusion of pannag in the list of trade goods in Ezekiel 27 serves to illustrate the wealth and prosperity of Tyre, as well as the diverse resources and products that were exchanged among nations. It also reflects the fulfillment of God's promises to Israel regarding the land's fertility and productivity, as seen in passages like Deuteronomy 8:7-9, where the land is described as abundant in resources.

The mention of pannag, though brief, provides insight into the daily life and economic activities of the ancient Israelites and their neighbors. It also serves as a reminder of the historical and cultural context in which the biblical narrative unfolds, offering a glimpse into the material culture of the time.Pannag

(sweet), an article of commerce exported from Palestine to Tyre, (Ezekiel 27:17) the nature of which is a pure matter of conjecture, as the term occurs nowhere else. A comparison of the passage in Ezekiel with (Genesis 43:11) leads to the supposition that pannag represents some of the spices grown in Palestine.

Pannag

In Ezekiel 27:17, is the Hebrew word for some unknown product of Palestine, which the Jews sold to the Tyrians. It is variously understood to mean millet, sweetmeats, a delicate spice, etc.

(Ezek. 27:17; marg. R.V., "perhaps a kind of confection") the Jews explain as the name of a kind of sweet pastry. Others take it as the name of some place, identifying it with Pingi, on the road between Damascus and Baalbec. "Pannaga" is the Sanscrit name of an aromatic plant (Comp. Genesis 43:11). PANNAG

pan'-ag (pannagh; kasia; Ezekiel 27:17 margin, "Perhaps a kind of confection"): One of the articles of commerce of Judah and Israel. The kasia of the Septuagint is said to be a shrub similar to the laurel. Nothing is known of the nature of pannag. Cheyne (EB, 3555) thinks the Hebrew letters have got misplaced and should be gephen, "vine," and he would join to it the debhash, "honey," which follows in the verse, giving a translation "grape honey," the ordinary dibbs of Palestine-an extremely likely article of commerce.

See HONEY.
