# as thick as a cloud of locusts # as thick as a cloud of locusts
Here "cloud" means a swarm. The author speaks of the army as if it were a swarm of locusts to emphasize how many soldiers there were. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]]) Here "cloud" means a swarm.
# Their camels were more ... in number than the grains of the sand on the seashore # Their camels were more ... in number than the grains of the sand on the seashore
The author uses a hyperbole, an exaggeration, to emphasize that there were very many camels. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-hyperbole]]) The author emphasizes that there were very many camels.
# Their camels were more than could be counted # Their camels were more than could be counted
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "Their camels were more than anyone could count" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]]) "Their camels were more than anyone could count"
