Abundance of camels

An abundance of camels will envelop you, camel colts of Midian and Ephah... gold and frankincense will they bear, and the praises of God will they proclaim. ISAIAH (60:1)   שִׁפְעַת גְּמַלִּים תְּכַסֵּךְ בִּכְרֵי מִדְיָן וְעֵיפָה ... זָהָב וּלְבוֹנָה יִשָּׂאוּ וּתְהִלֹּת יְ-הוָה יְבַשֵּׂרוּ יְשַׁעְיָהוּ ס:ו shif-AT g'-ma-LEEM t'-kha-SAYF bikh-RAY mi-d'-YAN v'-ay-FA ... za-HAV u-l'-vo-NA yi-sa-U u-t'-hi-LOT a-do-NAI y'-ba-say-RU

Today's Israel Inspiration The Hebrew word for camel is גמל “gamal” which also means “to be independent”: “And the boy grew up, and was weaned ויגמל (vayigamal)” (Genesis 21:8). The connection to the trait of independence refers to the camel's ability to survive without water for many months. Isn't it fun to see the intrinsic meaning of Hebrew words, unlike any other language in the world!
