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. 1Pe 2:2 and particularly as contrasted with meat, 1Co 3:2; Heb 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, De 32:14 of camels, Ge 32:15 and of goats, Pr 27:27 was used; that latter appears to have been most highly prized.
