Easton's Bible Dictionary
(Hebrew 'izabhonim), found seven times in Ezekiel
27, and nowhere else. The Authorized Version renders the word thus in all
these instances, except in Ezekiel
27:33, where "wares" is used. The Revised Version uniformly renders by "wares,"
which is the correct rendering of the Hebrew word. It never means "fairs" in the
modern sense of the word.
Hitchcock's Dictionary of Bible Names
(no entry)
Smith's Bible Dictionary
A word which occurs only in ( Ezekiel 27:1 ) ... and
there no less than seven times, vs. ( Ezekiel 27:12 , 27:14 , 27:16 , 27:19 ,
27:22 , 27:27 , 27:33 ) in the last of these verses it is rendered "wares," and
this we believe to be the true meaning of the word throughout.
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
farz:
Found only 5 times in the King James Version (Ezekiel 27:12 , 14 , 16 , 19 , 27),
apparently incorrect translation of 'izzabhon, according to modern Hebraists (though
Gesenius gives "fair" as one of its meanings). The Septuagint translates the Hebrew
of the above five passages by two different words, agora, "market-place" (Ezekiel
27:12 , 14 , 16 , 19), and misthos, "hire," "pay" (Ezekiel 27:27 , 33). The King
James Version follows the Wyclif version in Ezekiel 27:12 and the Geneva version
throughout, although it properly translates "wares" in Ezekiel 27:33. the Revised
Version (British and American) gives "wares" (which see) throughout.
