Dear Sujata,

HH: Here are the texts that use "curds" in the NIV:

Gen. 18:8 He then brought some curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set these before them. While they ate, he stood near them under a tree.
Deut. 32:14 with curds and milk from herd and flock and with fattened lambs and goats, with choice rams of Bashan and the finest kernels of wheat. You drank the foaming blood of the grape.
2Sam. 17:29 honey and curds, sheep, and cheese from cows' milk for David and his people to eat. For they said, "The people have become hungry and tired and thirsty in the desert."
Is. 7:15 He will eat curds and honey when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right.
Is. 7:22 And because of the abundance of the milk they give, he will have curds to eat. All who remain in the land will eat curds and honey.
Ezek. 34:3 You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the wool and slaughter the choice animals, but you do not take care of the flock.

HH: There are two different Hebrew words used for "curds," chalab in the first two and last, and hem'ah in the other three. The Hebrew lexicon gives "milk" as the meaning of chalab, and "sour milk" or "cream" as the meaning of hem'ah.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
