The dew in Palestine, and other warm climates, falls fast, sudden, and heavy; and it falls upon every spot of earth, so that not a blade of grass escapes it. It is therefore no inapt emblem of a numerous and active army; and it was, perhaps, for this reason that the Romans called their light armed forces {rorarii.} 1Ki 20:10; 2Ki 18:23; 19:24; Isa 10:13,14; Ob 1:3 bring ropes.In the same manner the king of Maturan, in Java, proposed pulling down a tower which the Dutch had built, by making his people and elephants pull at a number of chains, and ropes of cocoa-nut bark, thrown around it. one small.Mt 24:2 the Lord.15:31; Ge 32:28; Ex 9:16; De 2:30; 2Ch 25:16,20appointed.

So when Dr. Perry visited the temple of Luxor in Egypt, he says, "We were entertained by the Caliph here with great civility and favour; he sent us, in return of our presents, several sheep, a good quantity of eggs, {bardacks,}" etc. The {bardacks,} he informs us, were earthen vessels, used "to cool and refresh their water in, by means of which it drinks very cool and pleasant in the hottest seasons of the year." See Harmer, ch. vi. Ob 1:3wheat.Mr. Jones says, "Travellers use {zumeet, tumeet,} and {limereece.} {Zumeet} is flour mixed with honey, butter, and spice; {tumeet} is flour done up with organ oil: and {limereece} is flour mixed with water, for drink. This quenches thirst much better than water alone, satisfies a hungry appetite; cools and refreshes tired and weary spirits," etc. cheese of kine.1Sa 17:18for David.Lu 8:3; Php 4:15-19to eat.2; Ps 34:8-10; 84:11The people.Jud 8:4-6; Ec 11:1,2; Isa 21:14; 58:7in the wilderness.16:2,14
