hwhy promised Yashar‘al a land that flowed with milk and honey: sounds wet and sweet!

Have you ever wondered what that meant? As a child, I learned that eating too much honey

and milk will make you vomit…so I never knew why having a land flowing with milk and

honey was such a good thing. Honey is very delicious! It also works great for migraine

headaches and serves as a natural sweetener…it’s amazing how hwhy made the bee and

enabled it to produce such a sweet substance for us…but was honey really to be consumed by

His people? Turah says so…or does it?

Etymology of Honey

Honey: Source: http://www.etymonline.com O.E. hunig, from P.Gmc. *hunagam- (cf. O.N. hunang, Swed. honung, O.S. huneg, O.Fris. hunig, M.Du. honich, Du. honig, O.H.G. honang, Ger. Honig "honey"); perhaps from PIE *k(e)neko- "yellow, golden" (cf. Skt. kancanum, Welsh canecon "gold"). The more common IE word is represented by Goth. miliþ (from PIE *melith "honey;" see Melissa). A term of endearment from at least mid-14c. Meaning "anything good of its kind" is 1888, Amer.Eng. Webster's 1828 Dictionary Honey: Source: Webster’s 1828 Dictionary. 1. A sweet vegetable juice, collected by bees from the flowers of plants, and deposited in cells of the comb in hives. Honey, when pure, is of a moderate consistence, of a whitish color, tinged with yellow, sweet to the taste, of an agreeable smell, soluble in water, and becoming vinous by fermentation. In medicine, it is useful as a detergent and aperient. It is supposed to consist of sugar, mucilage, and an acid. Honeydew: Source: http://www.etymonline.com

"sticky sweet substance found on trees and plants," 1570s, from honey + dew; honeydew melon first recorded 1916, a cross between cantaloupe and a South African melon… Honey: Source: Bible Dictionary Easton’sProperly the word signifies a forest or thicket of small trees, and refers to honey found in woods (unless noted as the honey of bees); but also frequently a vegetable honey distilled from trees. Honey can also mean syrup of grapes, i.e., the juice of ripe grapes boiled down to one-third of its bulk. Wild honey may have been the vegetable honey distilled from trees. Honey: Source: International Standard Bible Encyclopedia hun'-i (debhash; meli): One familiar with life in Palestine will recognize in debhash the Arabic dibs, which is the usual term for a sweet syrup made by boiling down the juice of grapes, raisins, carob beans, or dates. Figurative: "A land flowing with milk and honey" suggested a land filled with abundance of good things "A land of olive trees and honey" had the same meaning, and similarly "streams of honey and butter".

Although we find honey mentioned many times in the scriptures, we must understand that honey is a word used to refer to various types of sticky, sweet, brown-yellowish substances. King James translated everything as honey (in reference to bees)…there is a sinful aspect to honey that we have been blind to.

The Dietary Laws of hwhy

11:20-25…hwhy gave specific instructions as to what kind of insects we (U-Yaqra/Leviticus) ויקרא

could eat. Every flying insect that creeps must have jointed legs above their feet in order for us to consume them. Then He specifically names locust, cricket, and grasshopper. Verse 23 states ‘all other flying insects with 4 feet are an abomination.’ It is important to note that U-Yaqra/Leviticus 11 specifies specific insects, but Dabarym/Deuteronomy 14:19 states all creeping creatures that fly shall not be eaten. When we run these two passages together, bees are disqualified in both. Notice the legs

of the flying insects hwhy said we can eat:

Notice the high hind legs on these insects? Though they have wings, they have huge hind legs to leap about the earth, like the command states in U-Yaqra/Leviticus 11:21. Now, pay special attention to bees…their bodies are similar to wasps, hornets and flies:

hwhy specifically said that all flying insects that move about the earth must have jointed legs above their feet so they could hop about the earth. Wasps, bees, flies…none of them have this, so they would be unclean for us to consume. Notice the resemblance between the bee and the fly…Native Americans ones referred to bees as ‘white man’s stinging flies.’ Honey (produced by bees) is regurgitated nectar, or vomit. If bees are unclean, would not their vomit be unclean as well? Honey

#43:11-14…in the first account of the word translated as honey (H (B-r‘ashyth/Genesis) בראשית

1706), Yashar‘al had his sons pack honey along with balm, spices, and nuts to take to Matsarym. Honey was used for many things amongst Yashar‘al, but was this the honey made from bees?

3:7 & 8…’a land flowing with milk and honey’ seems to be an obvious (Shamuth/Exodus) שמות

reference to Yashar‘al eating regurgitated bee nectar, but a land that flows with chalab (H# 2461 - milk) and dabash (not what we know as honey) is an idiom for a land that is fat and abundant, not a land with

cow’s milk and bee honey; this idiom is found throughout Turah…C.R: במדבר (B-mdbar/Numbers) 16:

13 & 14

16:31…Yashar‘al ate a delicious substance in the wilderness that tasted like (Shamuth/Exodus) שמות

coriander seed and honey (H# 1706): it cannot be denied that dabash was definitely eaten by Yashar‘al, but where is the evidence that it was from bees?

,32:9-13…The honey referred to in this passage comes from rocks (Dabarym/Deuteronomy) דברים

possibly some sort of rock sap or molasses on rocks (Tahalym/Psalms 81:16).

פטיםש (Shaphatym/Judges) 14:8 & 9…This is the only place where honey is used as a direct reference

to a substance produced by bees…and a man of Yashar‘al was eating it; clean? Shamshun was not

always walking in the Turah of hwhy…he turned aside many times. Yashar‘al was not to practice whoring and they were not to go into foreigners: Shamshun did this (14:1-4; 16:1, 4). Lions are unclean for Yashar‘al and we should not even touch of their carcass (U-Yaqra/Leviticus 11:26), yet Shamshun ate what we know as honey (from bees) out of the carcass of an unclean animal (14:8). This particular use of honey does refer directly to dabash (H# 1706), but we can’t use Shamshun’s sinful use of it as Turah.

14:24-27…Again, honey (H# 1706) was eaten, but was it from (Shamu‘al Alaph/I Samuel) שמואל א

bees? Verse 25 states that they all came into the woods (H# 3293) and this word is said to reference the honeycomb from bees: of its 58 uses, Shamu‘al Alaph and Shyr Ha Shyrym/Song of Solomon 5:1 are the only books that King James has translated this word to be honey-comb. Seeing that there was a substance flowing from trees, and the word for honey-comb truly means ‘tree’…this was tree sap and not bee honey.

Etymology of Sap

Sap: Source: http://www.etymonline.com "liquid in a plant," O.E. sæp, from P.Gmc. *sapom (cf. M.L.G., M.Du., Du. sap, O.H.G. saf, Ger. Saft "juice"), from PIE *sapon- (cf. L. sapere "to taste"), from root *sab- "juice, fluid" (cf. Skt. sabar- "sap, milk, nectar"). Sap: Source: Webster’s 1828 Dictionary

1. The juice of plants of any kind, which flows chiefly between the wood and the bark. From the sap of a species of maple, is made sugar of a good quality by evaporation. 2. The laburnum of a tree; the exterior part of the wood, next to the bark. [A sense in general use in New England.] Sap: Source: Merriam Webster’s Dictionary I. nounEtymology: Middle English, from Old English sæp; akin to Old High German saf sap Date: before 12th century 1.a. the fluid part of a plant; specifically a watery solution that circulates through a plant's vascular system Sap: Source: Oxford Reference Dictionary 1. n. & v. --n. 1 the vital juice circulating in plants. 2 vigour; vitality. 3 = SAPWOOD. 4 US sl. a bludgeon (orig. one made from a sapling). --v.tr. (sapped, sapping) 1 drain or dry (wood) of sap.

[vwhy & Yahuchanan

3:4…There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that Yahuchanan was in (MathathYahu/Matthew) מתתיהו

line with Turah. He was set-apart to hwhy and even came in the ruach of ‘Al-Yahu…he ate honey (G# 3192). If eating honey was against Turah, why did Yahuchanan eat it? This passage is repeated in Mark 1:6. There are a few points that need to be explained. The Greek word meli (G# 3192) is the basic root for the word melissios: molasses. The Greeks did not render the word dabash as honey, as a substance from bees…they rendered it as molasses. The second thing to consider is that what Yahuchanan ate was specified as being wild (G# 66) honey…a substance that grows on trees in the woods: tree sap. Remember, the word honey refers to any yellow brownish sweet substance.

24:42…The most compelling piece of evidence that seems to prove we can eat (AurYah/Luke‘) אוריה

honey from bees is found when the Mashyach ate honey (G# 3193)…the Greek actually said He ate melissios/molasses, but the definition has been rendered as honey from bees…what is molasses?

Etymology of Molasses Molasses: Source: http://www.etymonline.com 1580s, from Port. melaço, from L.L. mellaceum "new wine," properly neuter of mellaceus "resembling honey," from L. mel (gen. mellis) "honey" (see Melissa). Adopted in English in plural form, but regarded as a singular noun.

Molasses: Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molasses Molasses is a viscous by-product of the beating of sugar cane, grapes or sugar beets into sugar. The word molasses comes from the Portuguese word melaço, which is a superlative from Greek μέλι (meli, mel), the Latin (and Portuguese) word for "honey".[1]

Molasses: Source: Merriam Webster’s Dictionary Modification of Portuguese melaço, from Late Latin mellaceum grape juice, from Latin mell-, mel honey — more at mellifluous Date: 1582 1. the thick dark to light brown syrup that is separated from raw sugar in sugar manufacture 2. a syrup made from boiling down sweet vegetable or fruit juice <citrus molasses>

Molasses: Source: Webster’s 1930 Dictionary Molasses Mo*las"ses, n. [F. m['e]lasse, cf. Sp. melaza, Pg. mela[,c]o, fr. L. mellaceus honeylike, honey-sweet, mel, mellis, honey. See Mellifluous, and cf. Melasses.] The thick, brown or dark colored, viscid,

uncrystallizable syrup which drains from sugar, in the process of manufacture; any thick, viscid, sweet sirup made from vegetable juice or sap, as of the sorghum or maple. See Treacle.

The Conclusion of the Matter Honey is a generic term used for various substances made by trees and plants. We must understand that our English translation use words from our language (as best as they can) to covey meanings of words in `Abary that they may not fully understand. Some of the passages that refer to the usage of honey from the honeycomb seem to be sure indicators that eating the vomit from bees is in line with Turah…read

the laws hwhy gave in reference to what’s clean and unclean. Would you eat products that contain the vomit of pigs, horses, or dogs? No. All of these are unclean…bees are unclean as well.
