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."

VERSE 33

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
