This has always been a ridiculous objection. Abraham was a rich man. It's not uncommon for rich men to have things long before their neighbors do even though it may have traveled from far away. There are drug dealers in the deepest parts of Central and South American forests as well as oil sheiks who have Rolls Royce cars even though the nearest dealership is many thousands of miles away. And unlike Rolls Royce cars, camels ARE DESIGNS for long arduous journeys to distant lands. So, it makes sense that they can make such trips and arrive at their destinations.

DeleteAbraham may have sent his servant Eliezer with 10 (or more) camels precisely to prove to any potential wife for Isaac that she would be marrying into wealth.
