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.Reciprocal 14:20 - tithes; Leviticus 2:12 - the oblation; 27:30 - General; Numbers 18:21 - the tenth; Deuteronomy 26:2 - That thou shalt; 1 Chronicles 9:26 - chambers; Nehemiah 12:47 - gave; Mark 12:44 - cast in of; Luke 11:42 - and not Verse 6 the children 2 Chronicles 11:16, 11:17 the tithe Leviticus 27:30; Deuteronomy 14:28 by heapsHeb. heaps and heaps.Reciprocal Genesis 14:20 - tithes; Exodus 36:5 - General; Numbers 18:21 - the tenth; Nehemiah 10:37 - and the tithes; 12:47 - gave; Song of Songs 5:1 - eat Verse 7 Leviticus 23:16-24
