(Deuteronomy 1:44); 1 Kings 14:3³And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what shall become of the child. (1 Kings 14:3); Psa. 81:16¹⁶He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee. (Psalm 81:16); Isa. 7:15,18¹⁵Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. (Isaiah 7:15)
