1 Samuel 17:18 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge. Carry these ten cheeses - Cheeses of milk, says the margin. In the East they do not make what we call cheese: they press the milk but slightly, and carry it in rush baskets. It is highly salted, and little different from curds.
