honey . or , dates , The word devash generally denotes the honey produced by bees; but as we have already observed (on Genesis 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 araky , 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.
