Job 30:5 "They are driven from the community; They shout against them as against a thief, (NASB ©1995)


Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.

mallows (The Hebrew malluach, in Arabic, malluch and in Syriac mallucho, is probably the halimus of the Romans, which Dioscorides describes as a kind of bramble, without thorns, the leaves of which are boiled and eaten.)

juniper roots (The Hebrew rothem, in Arabic, ratim, and in Spanish, retama, most probably signifies the genista or broom, which is very abundant in the deserts of Arabia.)

for their meat 2Ki 4:38,39 Am 7:14 Lu 15:16
