Dromedary:

(Isa 60:6), an African or Arabian species of camel having only one hump, while the Bactrian camel has two. It is distinguished from the camel only as a trained saddle-horse is distinguished from a cart-horse. It is remarkable for its speed (Jer 2:23). Camels are frequently spoken of in partriarchal times (Gen 12:16; 24:10; 30:43; 31:17, etc.). They were used for carrying burdens (Gen 37:25; Jdg 6:5), and for riding (Gen 24:64). The hair of the camel falls off of itself in spring, and is woven into coarse cloths and garments (Mat 3:4). (See CAMEL.)

King James Dictionary

Dromedary: A Camel, or Steed.

Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the DROMEDARIES of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall show forth the praises of the LORD. All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory. (Isaiah 60:5-7)
