67<\/strong>. camels<\/em> ] The camel is mentioned in the O.T. chiefly as the beast of burden of nomad families and races, e.g. Ishmaelites (Gen 37:25<\/span>), Midianites and Amalekites (Jdg 6:5<\/span>; 1Sa 30:17<\/span>). It would be the most serviceable of all beasts for the long journey from Babylon, on account of its great endurance and its capacity for carrying heavy weights.<\/p>\n The camel here spoken of is probably of Arabian breed. It is what we should call the ‘dromedary’ or one-humped camel.<\/p>\n Camels would be in frequent use in Babylon. Several Assyrian sculptures have been preserved in which we may see that the camel then as now was the favourite beast both of merchants and of robbers (Job 1:17<\/span>).<\/p>\n asses<\/em> ] Here and in Nehemiah the number is 6720, in 1Es 5:43 it is 5525.

Asses are mentioned along with camels and horsemen in Isaiah’s prophecy of the fall of Babylon (Isa 21:7<\/span>).<\/p>\n These four beasts of burden are mentioned in the same order in Zec 14:15<\/span>. The horses and mules would be ridden by the wealthier, asses by the poorer classes. The camels and asses would carry the baggage.<\/p>\n [See comments on Ezr 2:66]<\/span>.<\/p>\n (67) The asses, as throughout earlier Hebrew history, are the chief and most numerous beasts of burden.<\/p>\n Reciprocal: Neh 7:68 – General<\/p>\n Their camels, four hundred thirty and five; [their] asses, six thousand seven hundred and twenty. 67. camels ] The camel is mentioned in the O.T. chiefly as the beast of burden of nomad families and races, e.g. Ishmaelites (Gen 37:25), Midianites and Amalekites (Jdg 6:5; 1Sa 30:17).
