It is often associated with the Promised Land, described as "a land flowing with milk and honey" (<a href="/exodus/3-8.htm">Exodus 3:8</a>), signifying God's provision and blessing for His people.<br><br><b>Symbol of Abundance and Blessing</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, milk is emblematic of the fertility and richness of the land God promised to the Israelites. The phrase "a land flowing with milk and honey" is repeated multiple times (e.g., <a href="/exodus/3-17.htm">Exodus 3:17</a>; <a href="/leviticus/20-24.htm">Leviticus 20:24</a>; <a href="/numbers/13-27.htm">Numbers 13:27</a>), underscoring the bountiful nature of the Promised Land. This imagery conveys a place of sustenance and divine favor, where the needs of God's people would be abundantly met.<br><br><b>Spiritual Nourishment</b><br><br>Milk is also used metaphorically in the Bible to represent spiritual nourishment and growth. In the New Testament, the Apostle Peter encourages believers to crave pure spiritual milk, "like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation" (<a href="/1_peter/2-2.htm">1 Peter 2:2</a>). This metaphor highlights the importance of foundational teachings and the Word of God in nurturing and maturing one's faith.<br><br>Similarly, the Apostle Paul contrasts milk with solid food to illustrate the spiritual maturity of believers. In <a href="/1_corinthians/3-2.htm">1 Corinthians 3:2</a> , he writes, "I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready." Here, milk represents the basic teachings of Christianity, suitable for new believers, while solid food symbolizes deeper, more complex doctrines for the mature in faith.<br><br><b>Cultural and Dietary Context</b><br><br>In the ancient Near Eastern context, milk was a staple in the diet, derived from cows, goats, and sheep. It was consumed fresh, fermented, or as cheese and butter. The Bible references the consumption of milk and its products in various contexts, such as Abraham offering curds and milk to his divine visitors (<a href="/genesis/18-8.htm">Genesis 18:8</a>) and the provision of milk as a sign of hospitality and sustenance.<br><br><b>Prohibitions and Ritual Purity</b><br><br>While milk itself is not prohibited, the Mosaic Law includes specific dietary regulations concerning the mixing of milk and meat. The commandment "Do not cook a young goat in its mother's milk" (<a href="/exodus/23-19.htm">Exodus 23:19</a>) is repeated in the Torah and has been traditionally interpreted in Jewish law as a prohibition against mixing dairy and meat products. This regulation underscores the importance of ritual purity and the distinctiveness of God's covenant people.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>Throughout the Bible, milk serves as a powerful symbol of God's provision, spiritual nourishment, and the richness of His blessings. Its recurring presence in both literal and metaphorical contexts highlights its significance in the biblical narrative and its enduring role in the life and faith of believers.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Milk</span><p>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.

Milk is used figuratively as a sign of abundance (<a href="/genesis/49-12.htm">Genesis 49:12</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/25-4.htm">Ezek. 25:4</a>; <a href="/joel/3-18.htm">Joel 3:18</a>).

Hebrews 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 (<a href="/genesis/18-8.htm">Genesis 18:8</a>), and which Jael gave to Sisera (<a href="/judges/5-25.htm">Judges 5:25</a>). In this state milk was used by travellers (<a href="/2_samuel/17-29.htm">2 Samuel 17:29</a>). If kept long enough, it acquired a slightly intoxicating or soporific power.<p>This Hebrew word is also sometimes used for milk in general (<a href="/deuteronomy/32-14.htm">Deuteronomy 32:14</a>; <a href="/job/20-17.htm">Job 20:17</a>). <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

The word is used in the Bible of that of human beings (<a href="/isaiah/28-9.htm">Isaiah 28:9</a>) as well as of that of the lower animals (<a href="/exodus/23-19.htm">Exodus 23:19</a>). As a food it ranked next in importance to bread (Ecclesiasticus 39:26). Palestine is frequently described as a land "flowing with milk and honey" (<a href="/exodus/3-8.htm">Exodus 3:8, 17</a> <a href="/numbers/13-27.htm">Numbers 13:27</a> <a href="/deuteronomy/6-3.htm">Deuteronomy 6:3</a> <a href="/joshua/5-6.htm">Joshua 5:6</a> <a href="/jeremiah/11-5.htm">Jeremiah 11:5</a> <a href="/ezekiel/20-6.htm">Ezekiel 20:6, 15</a>). Milk was among the first things set before the weary traveler (<a href="/genesis/18-8.htm">Genesis 18:8</a>). In fact, it was considered a luxury (<a href="/judges/5-25.htm">Judges 5:25</a> <a href="/songs/5-1.htm">Songs 5:1</a>). The people used the milk of kine and also that of sheep (<a href="/deuteronomy/32-14.htm">Deuteronomy 32:14</a>), and especially that of goats (<a href="/proverbs/27-27.htm">Proverbs 27:27</a>). It was received in pails ('atinim, <a href="/job/21-24.htm">Job 21:24</a>), and kept in leather bottles (no'dh, <a href="/judges/4-19.htm">Judges 4:19</a>), where it turned sour quickly in the warm climate of Palestine before being poured out thickly like a melting substance (nathakh; compare <a href="/job/10-10.htm">Job 10:10</a>). Cheese of various kinds was made from it (gebhinah and charitse he-chalabh, literally, "cuts of milk"); or the curds (chem'ah) were eaten with bread, and possibly also made into butter by churning (<a href="/proverbs/30-33.htm">Proverbs 30:33</a>). See <a href="../f/food.htm">FOOD, II</a>.
