  For an explanation of the words {tzori, nechoth,} and {lot,}
  here rendered respectively balm, spices, and myrrh, see on
  ch. 25 37:25.  {Devash,} honey, is supposed by some not to have
  been that produced by bees, but a syrup produced from ripe
  dates.  The Jewish doctors observe, that the word in 2 Ch
  5 31:5 signifies dates; and the Arabians, at this day, call the
  choicest dates preserved with butter, {dabous,} and the honey
  obtained from them, {dibs,} or {dabs.}  {Benanim,} nuts
  signifies pistachio nuts, the finest thing found in Syria;
  but, according to the others, a small nut, the produce of a
  species of the turpentine tree.  {Shekaidim} is certainly
  almonds.

  The Chaldee Paraphrast renders this clause, "Because the
  Hebrews eat the cattle which the Egyptians worship."  But, as
  we learn from ver. 16, compared with this verse, that the
  provision for the entertainment of the Egyptians themselves
  was animal food, this reason cannot be just.  The true reason
  seems to be that assigned by the LXX., [
                                       :] "For every shepherd
  is an abomination to the Egyptians."

 - 44.12


VERSE 34 
 - messes.
   * 2Sa 11:8
- was five times.
  Sir John Chardin observes, that "in Persia, Arabia, and the
  Indies, there are some houses where they place several plates
  in large salvers, and set one of these before each person, or
  before two or three, according to the magnificence of each
  house.  The great men of the state are always served by
  themselves, in the feasts that are made for them; and with
  great profusion, their part of each kind of provision being
  always double, treble, or a larger proportion of each kind of
  meat."

   * Ge 45:22 1Sa 1:5; 9:22-24
- were merry.  Heb. drank largely.
   * Pr 31:6 Ec 9:7; 10:19 So 5:1 Hab 1:6 Mt 11:19 Joh 2:10
