Wool. Wool was an article of the highest value among the Jews, as the staple material for the manufacture of clothing. Leviticus 13:47; Deuteronomy 22:11; Job 31:20; Proverbs 31:13; Ezekiel 34:3; Hosea 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." 2 Kings 3:1. The wool of Damascus was highly prized in the mart of Tyre. Ezekiel 27:18.
