Jeremiah 25:24

And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert,

Mingled people - not in the same sense as ; the motley crowd, so called in contempt (cf. ; ; ). By a different pointing it may be translated, the Arabs; but the repetition of the name is not likely. Blaney thinks there were two divisions of what we call Arabia, the West (Araba) and the East-the West included Arabia Petrea and the parts on the sea bordering on Egypt-the land of Cush; the East, Arabia Felix and Deserta. The latter are 'the mixed race' inhabiting the desert.
