How Much Can a Camel Drink?

Since we are in Israel and riding camels, I thought I would post some fun and interesting facts.

I recently wrote the Bible Study on Genesis for www.CatholicScriptureStudy.com. In chapter 24 Abraham sends his unnamed servant to find a bride for his son Isaac.

The servant prays to God and asks, "Whichever girl at the well offers me a drink, and offers to water my camels as well, let her be the one you've chosen for Isaac."

Come on! Get real! What girl is going to draw water by hand for a group of men and TEN CAMELS? Do you know how much a camel can drink?  Try and guess!

Camels can drink _______ gallons in 10 minutes

Camels can drink _______ gallons in one session

Camels can drink _______ gallons in a day

Rebekah drew __________ gallons for 10 thirsty camels

No wonder the servant thought Rebekah was a good wife for Isaac. Good grief, this girl must have been amazing.
