And you will have enough goats’ milk for yourself, Your family, and your servant girls.”   The way I look at this passage is from a business point of view, and it is talking about a farm like business. The key thought is “Know what is going on in your family, your church or business.   Know the members of your family or your employees and care for them.   Spend your energy in caring for your members and ...
