Then the palm-grove owners started to guard their plantations – one person would be sleeping and another guarding the trees against any thief, any date-robber. And if you looked at a date grove back then, it was as if stars were shining in it because of the many fires (lit by the guards), here and there’ (CSOL III 13:23)
