  Dr. Shaw observes, "Besides a bowl of milk, and a basket of
  figs, raisins, or dates, which upon our arrival were presented
  to us, to stay our appetite, the master of the tent fetched us
  from his flock, according to the number of our company, a kid
  or a goat, a lamb or a sheep; half of which was immediately
  seethed by his wife, and served up with {cucasoe;} the rest
  was made {kab-ab,} i.e., cut to pieces and roasted, which we
  reserved for our breakfast or dinner next day."  May we not
  suppose, says Mr. Harmer, that Gideon presented some slight
  refreshment to the supposed prophet, according to the present
  Arab mode, and desired him to stay till he could provide
  something more substantial; that he immediately killed a kid,
  seethed a part of it, and when ready brought the stewed meat
  in a pot, with unleavened cakes of bread, which he had baked;
  and the other part, the {kab-ab,} in a basket for him to carry
  with him, for some after repast in his journey?
