Ibn Ezra on Leviticus 2:11/אבן עזרא על ויקרא ב׳:י״א
אשאור. הוא המחמיץ גם כן הדבש ורבים אמרו שפירושו דבש תמרים וכן כל ארץ זבת חלב ודבש ויש להם כדמות ראיה בספר עזרא:
1LEAVEN. Se’or refers to leaven. It is the same case with honey. Some say that our verse speaks of date honey. The same is true whenever Scripture speaks of a land flowing with milk and honey. There is what appears to be proof of their opinion in the Book of Ezra.21. The latter seems to place honey among the produce of the field. Others say that the reference is to Neh. 10:36.
