‏ Isaiah 21:14

14. Tema--a kindred tribe: an oasis in that region (Jr 25:23). The Temeans give water to the faint and thirsting Dedanites; the greatest act of hospitality in the burning lands of the East, where water is so scarce.

prevented--that is, anticipated the wants of the fugitive Dedanites by supplying bread (Ge 14:18).

their bread--rather, "his (the fugitive's) bread"; the bread due to him, necessary for his support; so "thy grave" (Is 14:19), [Maurer].
