Tema—a kindred tribe: an oasis in that region (Jeremiah 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 (Genesis 14:18).
their bread—rather, "his (the fugitive's) bread"; the bread due to him, necessary for his support; so "thy grave" (Isaiah 14:19), [MAURER].
