The "thirty milch camels" were particularly valuable; for among the Arabs they constitute a principal part of their riches; being every way so serviceable, that the providence of God appears peculiarly kind and wise in providing such animals for those countries, where no other animal could be of equal service. The she-camel gives milk continually, not ceasing even when with young; the milk of which, when mixed with three parts of water, affords the most pleasant and wholesome beverage. 30:43; 31:9,16; De 8:18; 1Sa 25:2; Job 1:3; 42:12 15 space.20; 33:8,9; Ps 112:5; Pr 2:11; Isa 28:26; Mt 10:16 Whose art.33:3 4,5 19 I will appease.43:11; 1Sa 25:17-35; Job 42:8,9; Pr 15:18; 16:14; 21:14peradventure.1Sa 6:5; 1Ki 20:31; Jon 3:9; 2Ti 2:25of me.
