Halakhah do Przysłów 16:5

And I have further heard a reason about the prohibition of leaven and honey, because leaven raises itself and honey likewise brings up much foam. And therefore they were distanced [from us] to hint that 'an abomination to the Lord is every haughty person.' And I saw further in the commentary of Ramban, may his memory be blessed, who wrote (Ramban on Leviticus 2:11) and this is his language: "And since the sacrifices are for the will of the glorious God, they should not come from things that have a strong hand to change the nature [of things]; and so [too], they should not come from things that are completely sweet like honey, but rather from [things that are] mixtures - as they, may their memory be blessed, said (Bereishit Rabbah 12:15) about the creation of the world, 'He combined the trait of mercy with the trait of kindness and created it.'" To here [are his words].
