Berean Standard Bible BSB Bible
1 KJV and 7 BSB verses contain “Curd”
Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
By the time He knows enough to reject evil and choose good, He will be eating curds and honey.
And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land.
and from the abundance of milk they give, he will eat curds; for all who remain in the land will eat curds and honey.
