Better is a dry morsel “Bread with pulse, or husks,” as Bochart and Houbigant interpret it; which was the food of meaner persons; and quietness therewith Peace, love, and concord among the members of a family; than a house full of sacrifices Of the remainder of sacrifices, of which they used to make feasts; concerning which see on Proverbs 7:14: or, of slain beasts, as the same word, זבחים, is used Genesis 31:54, and elsewhere.
