Judges 5:25 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Butter, or, cream, i.e. the choicest of her milk; so the same thing is repeated in differing words. In a lordly dish; which you are not to understand of such a stately and costly dish as the luxury of after-ages brought in, which is not agreeable to the simplicity, either of this family, or of those ancient times; but of a comely and convenient dish, the best which she had, and such as the better sort of persons then used.

Judges 5:25

25 He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
