| The shadoof is used on small farms, and the sakieh is more often used for larger farms and plantations. |
| The men working at the 21 shadoof on the river brink have only a strip of cloth around their loins. |
| The water raised by the shadoof is commonly used for irrigation. |
| A shadoof, such as may be seen on the Nile, serves to draw water to irrigate the gardens. |
| This is the shadoof, the same which was used in the time of Moses. |
| Drawing water with the aid of the shadoof is said to be very hard work, especially in so hot a country as Egypt. |
