isaiah 21:14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled.

isaiah 21:14 Bring water for the thirsty, O inhabitants of the land of Tema, Meet the fugitive with bread.

14. Tema--a kindred tribe: an oasis in that region (Jer 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" (Isa 14:19), [MAURER].

isaiah 21:14 Bring water for the thirsty, O inhabitants of the land of Tema, Meet the fugitive with bread.
