The word "Keren-happuch" (H7163) is found only twice in the Hebrew Bible. It translates to "Horn of Poch" or "Eye of Poch", where "Poch" is a substance or a plant, possibly a type of aromatic resin or balm. In one occurrence, "Keren-happuch" is associated with the location of the merchants and traders in Ezekiel 27:17. In this context, it may represent a luxury item or a valuable commodity, possibly indicating the wealth and opulence of the merchants. The other occurrence is in Ezekiel 27:22, where it refers to goods from the land of Tarshish, specifically those carried by the Tarshish ships. Here, it may symbolize a precious, high-value item highly sought after by the traders. Overall, while the exact meaning of "Poch" is unclear, the context in which it appears suggests that "Keren-happuch" signifies a highly valued luxury good. Its rarity in the Hebrew Bible gives us limited information, but it implies that "Keren-happuch" played an important role in the ancient economy or trade.
