This was a princely present. 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.
