Holman Bible Dictionary

A company of travelers (usually merchants) on a journey through desert or hostile regions with a train of pack animals (see Genesis 37:25; Judges 5:6; 1 Kings 10:2; Job 6:18-19; Isaiah 21:13 ). Palestine lay along the main travel route between Egypt, Arabia, and Mesopotamia and had many caravans passing through it.
