This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Tema - a kindred tribe: an oasis in that region (Jer 25:23). The Temeans give water to the faint and thirsting Dedanites; the greatest act of hospitality in the burning lands of the East, where water is so scarce.
prevented - that is, anticipated the wants of the fugitive Dedanites by supplying bread (Gen 14:18).
their bread - rather, “his (the fugitive’s) bread”; the bread due to him, necessary for his support; so “thy grave” (Isa 14:19), [Maurer].
