COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

29. Jacob sod pottage —made of lentils or small beans, which are common in Egypt and Syria.

It is very palatable; and to the weary hunter, faint with hunger, its odor must have been irresistibly tempting. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-31" class="com-number"
