Easton's Bible Dictionary
( Isaiah
60:6 ), An African or Arabian species of camel having only one hump, while
the Bactrian camel has two. It is distinguished from the camel only as a trained
saddle-horse is distinguished from a cart-horse. It is remarkable for its speed
( Jeremiah
2:23 ). Camels are frequently spoken of in partriarchal times ( Genesis
12:16 ; 24:10
; 30:43
; 31:17
, etc.). They were used for carrying burdens ( Genesis
37:25 ; Judges
6:5 ), and for riding ( Genesis
24:64 ).
The hair of the camel falls off of itself in spring, and is woven into coarse
cloths and garments ( Matthew
3:4 ).
