17. And they will be given cups of a drink mixed with ginger [20].
[20] Previously, the drink mixed with camphor was mentioned, which, in terms of its effect, is cool and refreshing. Now, the drink mixed with ginger or dried ginger is mentioned. Ginger has a warming effect. Considering the fondness of the Arabs, its mention has been made. This will be a natural spring, whose drink will have the fragrance of dried ginger, but not its bitterness.
