mits denotes the pressing that Proverbs 30:33 links with resulting curds, blood, and strife.

The attested use presents mits as pressing in a threefold comparison: milk yields curds, the nose yields blood, and anger yields strife.

Senses in use

  1. Pressing that produces an outcome · dominant

    In Proverbs 30:33, the three construct-form occurrences introduce parallel clauses in which pressing is followed by an outcome involving milk, the nose, and anger. The APB renders the verse, “For pressing milk produces curds, pressing the nose produces blood, and pressing anger produces strife.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Proverbs 30:33, the APB presents all three occurrences with “pressing” in parallel clauses; its wording is a verse-level a whole-verse translation.
