Exegesis
The distributive adjective pan {πᾶν | pâ-n} precedes xylon {ξύλον | xý-lon} and skeuos {σκεῦος | skeû-os} to emphasize the comprehensiveness of “every” type of item: pan xylon thyinon {πᾶν ξύλον θύϊνον | pâ-n xý-lon thý-i-non} and pan skeuos elephantinon {πᾶν σκεῦος ἐλεφάντινον | pâ-n skeû-os e-le-phán-ti-non}.
The phrase pan skeuos ek xylou timiotatou {πᾶν σκεῦος ἐκ ξύλου τιμιωτάτου | pâ-n skeû-os ek xý-lou ti-mi-ō-tá-tou} uses ek {ἐκ | ek} with the genitive to indicate material composition (“vessel made from wood of the most precious kind”).
In context — Revelation 18:12
Cargo of gold and silver and precious stone and pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet, and every item of thyine wood and every ivory vessel and every vessel made from the most precious wood , and bronze and iron and marble.
