                eat all the food you want and live in safety in your land.
                (Leviticus, 26:3-5)


                For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land—a land
                with streams and pools of water, with springs flowing in the
                valleys and hills; a land with wheat and barley, vines and fig
                trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey. (Deuteronomy, 8:7-8)

                When they reached the Valley of Eshcol, they cut off a branch
                bearing a single cluster of grapes. Two of them carried it on a

                  The Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace)
                  loved such drinks as honey sherbet, and date and dried-
                  grape must. 53

                  Of all sherbets he loved honey sherbet the best. 54


                Then their father Israel said to them, "If it must be, then do this:
                Put some of the best products of the land in your bags and take
                them down to the man as a gift—a little balm and a little hon-

                (Genesis, 43:11)
