Camel

Camel (Hebrew: גָּמָל gəmal - Strongs: H1580; juvenile or Dromedary בִּכְרָה biḵrāh - Strongs: H1072) a prominent domestic animal of the East without the existence of which life in the Arabian deserts would be impossible. It was perhaps the first beast of burden applied to the service of man. It is mentioned as such in the biblical records as early as the time of Abraham. Recent excavations in the Timna Valley discovered what may be the earliest camel bones found in Israel or even outside the Arabian peninsula, dating to around 930 BCE. This is seen as evidence by some that the stories of Abraham, Joseph, Jacob and Esau were written after this time.^[3][4]
