Definition of milk:

• As an article of diet, milk holds a more important position in eastern countries than with us. It is not a mere adjunct in cookery, or restricted to the use of the young, although it is naturally the characteristic food of childhood, both from its simple and nutritive qualities. ( 1 Peter 2:2 ) and particularly as contrasted with meat, ( 1 Corinthians 3:2 ; Hebrews 5:12 ) but beyond this it is regarded as substantial food adapted alike to all ages and classes. Not only the milk of cows, but of sheep, ( 32:14 ) of camels, ( Genesis 32:15 ) and of goats, ( Proverbs 27:27 ) was used; that latter appears to have been most highly prized.
• Hebrew halabh, " new milk", milk in its fresh state ( Judg. 4:19 ). It is frequently mentioned in connection with honey ( Exodus 3:8 ; 13:5 ; Joshua 5:6 ; Isaiah 7:15 Isaiah 7:22 ; Jeremiah 11:5 ). Sheep ( Deuteronomy 32:14 ) and goats ( Proverbs 27:27 ) and camels ( Genesis 32:15 ), as well as cows, are made to give their milk for the use of man. Milk is used figuratively as a sign of abundance ( Genesis 49:12 ; Ezek. 25:4 ; Joel 3:18 ). It is also a symbol of the rudiments of doctrine ( 1 Corinthians 3:2 ; Hebrews 5:12 Hebrews 5:13 ), and of the unadulterated word of God ( 1 Peter 2:2 ).
• Heb. hem'ah, always rendered " butter" in the Authorized Version. It means " butter," but also more frequently " cream," or perhaps, as some think, " curdled milk," such as that which Abraham set before the angels ( Genesis 18:8 ), and which Jael gave to Sisera ( Judges 5:25 ). In this state milk was used by travellers ( 2 Samuel 17:29 ). If kept long enough, it acquired a slightly intoxicating or soporific power. This Hebrew word is also sometimes used for milk in general ( Deuteronomy 32:14 ; Job 20:17 ). These dictionary topics are fromM.G.
