In Isaiah 16:3, a call to shelter fugitives is made to Moab — a parallel command for hospitality during invasion.

In Isaiah 16:4, the command continues: 'let the outcasts sojourn among you' — directly mirroring the sheltering of fugitives here.

In Job 6:19, caravans of Tema search for water — the same desert region where water is now to be offered to fugitives.

In Judges 8:4-8, the men of Succoth refuse bread to Gideon's weary men — contrasting with the command to give bread to fugitives here.

2 Samuel 17:29 shows people bringing water and food to David's fleeing army—similar provision for fugitives in the wilderness.

In Genesis 25:15, Tema is listed as a son of Ishmael — identifying the same region called to give water here.

In 1 Chronicles 1:30, Tema appears again in Ishmael's genealogy — confirming the place name's origin.
