 * honey.  or, dates.
   The word {devash} generally denotes the honey produced by
   bees; but as we have already observed (on Ge 43:11,) the
   Jewish doctors are of opinion that it here signifies dates, of
   the fruit of the palm tree; which the Arabians call {daboos,}
   and the honey produced from them, {dibs.}  "This liquor," says
   Dr. Shaw, "which has a more luscious sweetness than honey, is
   of the consistence of a thin syrup, but quickly grows tart and
   ropy, acquiring an intoxicating quality, and giving by
   distillation an agreeable spirit, or ar(836b)y, according to the
   general name of these people for all hot liquors, extracted by
   the alembic."  Though Jehovah forbad any {devash,} or honey,
   to offered to him upon the altar, yet it appears it might be
   presented as first-fruits, or in the way of tithes, which were
   designed for the sustenance of the priests.
