leaven the agent that causes bread to rise honey also a leavening agent. Many people have said that the word honey here, and in every occurrence of “a land flowing with milk and honey” [e.g., Exodus 3:8], denotes honey made from dates. Grounds for their interpretation can be found in Ezra’s book [II Chronicles 31:5].
