BUTTER

BUTTER

The Hebrew term. It does not mean butter, but sour or curdled milk (Gen. 18:8; Deut. 32:14; Prov. 30:30; Isa. 7:15, 22).

Thompson claims that ancient Easterners did not make butter, and neither did the recent East. Jael gave Sisera sour milk, called “leben” in Arabic.

In winter, the consistency of this product is like that of settled honey; in summer, like oil
