It is mentioned in the context of trade and commerce, highlighting its value and desirability in ancient times. Context: The Hebrew term בְּרוֹם (berom) appears in the context of ancient trade, specifically in the book of Ezekiel. Damask, as a fabric, was highly prized for its intricate patterns and quality. It was often used in the making of garments and other textiles that signified wealth and status. The city of Damascus, known for its production of such textiles, likely contributed to the term's association with luxury.

The passage underscores the interconnectedness of ancient economies and the role of luxury goods in these networks.
