From
Manners and Customs of the Bible
:
Proverbs 30:33
33
Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife. (Proverbs 30:33)
. Surely the churning of
milk
bringeth forth
butter
, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth
blood
: so the forcing of
wrath
bringeth forth strife.
There is but little in the Eastern mode of preparing butter that is similar to our churning. The milk is
put
into a bag or
bottle
, made of the skin of a
goat
or of a buffalo, and is agitated in various ways until the butter, such as it is, comes. See note on
Genesis 18:8
8
And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat. (Genesis 18:8)
(#13).
Sometimes
the skin containing the milk is shaken to and fro, or beaten with sticks. Sometimes it is placed on the ground and trodden upon. Thus
Job
says, “I washed my steps with butter” (
Job 29:6
6
When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil; (Job 29:6)
). Again, it is pressed or squeezed with the hands, so that the contents become agitated and gradually coagulate. This last method is probably referred to in the text. There is a beauty in the original which does not appear in our English version.
The word
mits is thrice repeated, but is translated by
three
different terms: “churning,” “wringing,” “forcing.” It literally means “pressing” or “squeezing,” just as the skin bag is pressed or squeezed for the production of butter. The nose treated in a similar manner will bleed, and wrath which is thus “ pressed “ will result in strife.
