Deal bread — It was a custom among them, when they had any friend, that had lost his relations, to send them some meat (for among the Hebrews all things they ate were called bread) and then to go and sup with them, and speak comfortably to them. The cup — They were also wont to send wine, that they might forget their sorrows; this is called, The cup of consolation.
