And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what shall become of the child.
Ver. 3. And take with thee ten loaves.] A poor country present, that she might seem none other than a plain country woman, yet willing to show her thankfulness.
And cracknels.] Or, Plain cakes; Heb., Punctata, tenues placentulas punctis respersas.
And a cruse of honey.] Or, Bottle, a narrow mouthed vessel, that when it is emptied soundeth bakbuk, that is the Hebrew word here used. See the like in Job 39:30, where the vultures are said to glut glut blood, by an onomatopoeia.
