אֶֽת־ הַ֠⁠גָּמָל

אֶֽת־הַ֠⁠גָּמָל

DOM the,camel

This camel is a large, long-necked animal that usually lives in hot, dry climates. It has long slender legs, broad cushioned feet, and either one or two humps of fatty tissue on its back. They are still used as beasts of burden. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of animal, you could use the name of something similar in your area, or you could use a more general term.

Alternatively, your language may have another way of showing the emphasis. Alternate translation, preceded by a comma: “but it does not have a fully divided hoof
