More Honey Proof To Prove Accuracy of Bible

Here is some more "sweet evidence" that proves the Bible accuracy.


Moses described the land the Israelites were going to inherit as a "good and spacious, ...a land flowing with milk and honey."


But what was the source of this honey?  Was the honey just the sweet juice from dates, figs, or grapes or was it the wild honey Mathew and other Bible writers mentioned?  In  Mathew 3: 1, 4 Gospel Writer, Mathew, said that John the Baptist existed on locusts such wild honey while living in the wilderness.


The Israelites made good use of such juices no doubt, , but recent archaeological finds show that some of them were skilled beekeepers. A Professsor (Amihai) Mazar of the Hebrew University has mentioned the archaeological evidence of this.


He mentions an apiary found at Tel Rehov  which dates back to the time of Solomon's Temple Period  around the 10th and 9th centuries B.C.E.


Such apiaries as this one played a significant role in early development of the Jewish nation.  This one had some 100 hives set up in three rows and according to scholar could produce up to 100 tons of honey and beeswax annually.


This  honey and beeswax was used in a number of industries.These apiaries provided the early Israelites not only with a delicious food and food sweetener, but also with a steady supply of beeswax    used in the metal and leather industries. And it was also used in the  production of writing boards which consisted of a wooden panel and recess filled with the wax.
