Isaiah 7:22

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk [that] they shall give,.... The cow and the two sheep, having large pastures, and few cattle to feed upon them, those few would give such abundance of milk, that the owner of them would make butter of it, and live upon it, having no occasion to eat milk; and there being few or none to sell it to:he shall eat butter; the milk producing a sufficient quantity of it for himself and his family:for butter and honey shall everyone eat that is left in the land: signifying that though they would be few, they would enjoy a plenty of such sort of food as their small flocks and herds would furnish them with, and the bees produce.
