Genesis 37:25
Douay-Rheims
And sitting down to eat bread, they saw some Ismaelites on their way coming from Galaad, with their camels, carrying spices, and balm, and myrrh to Egypt.
George Leo Haydock
To eat bread. How could they do this while their innocent brother was praying and lamenting! (chap. xlii. 21.) (Haydock) — Some: a caravan of merchants. (Du Hamel) — Balm, or rosin; “that of Syria resembles attic honey.” (Pliny, Natural History) — Myrrh, (stacten); Hebrew, Lot: “drops of myrrh or laudanum, or of the Lotus tree.” (Calmet)
