{Job 30:4} Who cut up 6998 z8801 mallows 4408 by x5921 the bushes, 7880 and juniper 7574 roots 8328 [for] their meat. 3899
mallows:
The Hebrew malluach, in Arabic, malluch, and in Syriac mallucho, is probably the Lalima or Lalimos of the Greeks, and 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:
"And Elishaª came againª° to Gilgal:ª and [there was] a dearthª in the land;ª and the sonsª of the prophetsª [were] sittingª° beforeª him: and he saidª° unto his servant,ª Set²° on¹ the greatª pot,ª and seetheª° pottageª for the sonsª of the prophets.ª ... And oneª went outª° into¹ the fieldª to gatherª° herbs,ª and foundª° a wildª vine,ª and gatheredª° thereof¹ wildª gourdsª his lapª full,ª and cameª° and shredª° [them] into¹ the potª of pottage:ª for¹ they knewª° [them] not.¹" {2Kg 4:38-39} + "Then answeredª° Amos,ª and saidª° to¹ Amaziah,ª I¹ [was] no¹ prophet,ª neither¹ [was] I¹ a prophet'sª son;ª but¹ I¹ [was] an herdman,ª and a gathererª° of sycomore fruit:ª" {Ams 7:14} + "Andª he would fainª° have filledª° his²¹ bellyª withª the¹ husksª thatª the¹ swineª did eat:ª° andª no manª gaveª° unto him.ª" {Lke 15:16}
