1 Chronicles 5:9
entrance <0935> [unto the entering.]
That is, unto the borders of Arabia Deserta, which extends to the Euphrates.
cattle <04735> [because.]
1 Chronicles 5:21
seized <07617> [took away. Heb. led captive. camels.]
The camel, in Hebrew {gamal,} retained with little variation in all languages, is, according to the Linn‘an system, a genus of quadrapeds of the order pecora; comprehending the camel, properly so called, with two prominences; the dromedary, with a single one; the lama, or Peruvian camel, with the back even and the breast gibbose, and the pacos, or camel without any gibbosity. The camel, properly so called, is about 6« feet in height: its head is small; ears short; neck long, slender, and bending; legs long and slender, having four callosities on the fore legs and two on the hinder, on which it rests; feet soft, parted, but not thoroughly divided; bottom of the foot tough and pliant; tail about two feet in length, terminating in a tuft; and hair fine, soft, of considerable length, and of a dusky reddish colour. Besides the same internal structure as other ruminating animals, it is furnished with an additional bag for containing a quantity of water till wanted.
people <0120> [men. Heb. souls of men.]
1 Chronicles 7:21
went down <03381> [because they came.]
Or rather, "when [kÅ’y <\\See definition 03588\\>] {(kee)} they came down to take away their cattle;" for it does not appear that the sons of Ephraim were the aggressors, but the men of Gath, who appear to have been born in Egypt. This is the only place in the Sacred Writings where this piece of history is mentioned, and the transaction seems to have happened before the Israelites came out of Egypt; for it appears from the following verse, that Ephraim was alive when these children of his were slain.
