In ancient times, camels were essential for trade and transportation across deserts, symbolizing wealth and the movement of goods. The imagery of caravans covering the land indicates a significant influx of wealth and resources. This can be seen as a fulfillment of God's promise to bless His people and restore them. The use of camels also connects to the broader biblical narrative of trade routes and the exchange of goods, which were vital for the economic and cultural development of the region.young camels of Midian and Ephah Midian and Ephah were regions known for their trade and commerce. Midian, located east of the Jordan River, was historically associated with the descendants of Abraham through Keturah (<a href="/genesis/25.htm">Genesis 25:1-4</a>). Ephah, a son of Midian, represents a specific clan within this region. The mention of young camels from these areas highlights the participation of neighboring nations in the prosperity of Israel. This reflects the biblical theme of the nations being drawn to the light of God's people, as seen in the broader context of <a href="/isaiah/60.htm">Isaiah 60</a>.and all from Sheba will come Sheba, likely located in the region of modern-day Yemen, was famous for its wealth and trade, particularly in spices and precious goods. The Queen of Sheba's visit to Solomon (<a href="/1_kings/10.htm">1 Kings 10:1-13</a>) is a notable biblical account that underscores Sheba's significance. The mention of Sheba here suggests a future where distant nations recognize the glory of the Lord and bring their wealth to honor Him. This can be seen as a prophetic vision of the Gentiles coming to worship the God of Israel.bearing gold and frankincense Gold and frankincense were valuable commodities in the ancient world, often associated with royalty and divinity. The gifts of gold and frankincense are reminiscent of the offerings brought by the Magi to Jesus in <a href="/matthew/2-11.htm">Matthew 2:11</a>, symbolizing His kingship and divine nature. In this context, these gifts represent the nations' acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and their willingness to honor Him with their treasures. This also points to the eschatological hope of all nations worshiping the Lord.and proclaiming the praises of the LORD The ultimate purpose of the nations bringing their wealth is to glorify God. This phrase emphasizes the theme of worship and the recognition of God's majesty by all peoples. It aligns with the prophetic vision of a future where God's glory is acknowledged universally, as seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/72-10.htm">Psalm 72:10-11</a> and <a href="/revelation/21-24.htm">Revelation 21:24-26</a>.

These would be composed of merchants from Midian and Ephah, and would bring goods from Sheba. The Midianite caravans of camels are mentioned as early as the time of Jacob, when they carried "spicery and balm and myrrh" from the land of Gilead into Egypt (<a href="/genesis/37-25.htm">Genesis 37:25, 28, 36</a>). Ephah is a sub-tribe of Midian (<a href="/genesis/25-4.htm">Genesis 25:4</a>). These nomads would visit the distant Sheba, in Happy Arabia, for purposes of trade, and would procure there gold and incense, which they would convey to Palestine. The "Sheba" intended is doubtless that whose queen visited Solomon, and brought with her gold in abundance, and "of spices very great store, and precious stones" (<a href="/1_kings/10-10.htm">1 Kings 10:10</a>). The Egyptians appear to have called the kingdom of the Shebaim (Sabaeans) "Punt," and to have traded with it from a very early time, especially for frankincense (' Records of the Past,' vol. 10. pp. 14-19; Rawlinson, 'History of Ancient Egypt,' vol. it. pp. 132-134, 221-224).
