What Does “A Land Flowing with Milk and Honey” Really Mean?
Have you ever wondered why God promised the Israelites a land flowing with milk and honey?
Was it really about cows and bees? Or is there a deeper, richer meaning behind those words—something God wanted His people (and us) to understand?
What Does “Honey” Really Mean?
There are two kinds of honey mentioned in Scripture, and each gives us insight into God’s provision.
This honey refers to bee honey, which—even in times of drought—was still plentiful. Plants like pistachio and almond trees bloom early, and many desert plants produce sap, balm, and gum even in harsh conditions. Nature itself seems to respond to difficulty by hastening growth and blooming early.
But when people in biblical times spoke of honey, they were often referring to something else entirely: date honey.
This rich, thick syrup was made by crushing and heating ripe dates, allowing the natural sugars to flow out. It’s still produced in Israel today, and it’s considered one of the key fruits of the land, according to ancient Jewish texts like the Mishnah.
This sweet syrup was the “honey” that flowed in the Promised Land. A symbol of abundance from a fruit that grows even in dry, desert conditions.
