Bible Dictionary
Cheese
Cheese in the Bible refers to various forms of curdled or coagulated milk. The references may include pressed curds, dried curd, or other dairy products rather than one precisely defined modern kind of cheese.
Biblical Usage
David carried ten cheese-like portions to his brothers, a gift involving curd. “Cheese of kine” may mean curdled milk from cattle, while Job’s imagery refers to milk curdling. Each passage uses a different Hebrew term.
