1: μέλι

(Strong's #3192 — Noun Neuter — meli — mel'-ee )

occurs with the adjective agrios, "wild," in Matthew 3:4; Mark 1:6; in Revelation 10:9,10 , as an example of sweetness. As "honey" is liable to ferment, it was precluded from offerings to God, Leviticus 2:11 . The liquid "honey" mentioned in Psalm 19:10; Proverbs 16:24 is regarded as the best; a cruse of it was part of the present brought to Ahijah by Jeroboam's wife, 1 Kings 14:3 .
