MIEL

Voir les versets relatifs

C'était un aliment très apprécié des Israélites (Jug 14:18,2Sa 17:28, Sir 11:3 39:26) ; le moraliste en déconseille même l'abus (Pr 25:16,27).

Il doit avoir été abondant dans un pays où, selon une locution populaire, « ruisselaient le lait et le miel » (Ex 3:17, No 14:8, Jer 11:5 32:22, Sir 46:8) ; on en faisait présent aux étrangers comme de l'une des meilleures productions du pays (Ge 43:11) et l'on en récoltait assez pour pouvoir en exporter (Eze 27:17). Toutefois, certains auteurs pensent qu'il faut traduire raisiné et y voir un produit de la vigne (voir Vin). En effet, l'élevage des abeilles (voir ce mot) ne paraît avoir été connu que tard, la Mischna seule en faisant mention ; peut-être y est-il fait aussi allusion dans Esa 7:18, où le prophète compare l'Éternel à un apiculteur qui appelle ses abeilles en sifflant, et dans Ca S 1, où le miel figure parmi les produits du jardin.

Le miel sauvage était recueilli dans les anfractuosités des rochers (De 32:13, Ps 81:16), dans les forêts (1Sa 14:25-29), ou même dans les carcasses d'animaux gisant dans la campagne (Jug 14:8 et suivant). On le conservait dans des récipients spéciaux, probablement des cruches en terre (1Ro 14:3). Le sucre étant chose inconnue, le miel en tenait lieu et entrait dans la confection de la pâtisserie et de certains mets (Ex 16:31). Il était le complément d'un repas frugal et se mangeait, par exemple, avec les sauterelles et le poisson (Mr 16, Mt 3:4, Lu 24:42).

Le code rituel admettait que le miel fût présenté au sanctuaire comme offrande de prémices (Le 2:12,2Ch 31:5), mais il en excluait formellement l'emploi dans les oblations à consumer sur l'autel (Le 2:11), le miel étant assimilé au levain et considéré, sinon comme un ferment, du moins comme une substance fermentée ou fermentescible et par conséquent impropre à consécration cérémoniale.

Le miel sert souvent de terme de comparaison pour évoquer la douceur : (Jug 14:14,18) de la manne (Ex 16:31), des paroles agréables (Pr 16:24), de l'enseignement (Pr 24:13 et suivant), de la Loi de Dieu (Ps 19:11 119:103), de Son message confié au prophète (Eze 3:3), de la sagesse (Sir 24:20), etc. Ch. K.

      28 Then one of the people answered, and said, "Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, 'Cursed is the man who eats food this day.'" The people were faint.

      Marc 16

      1 When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint him.
      2 Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.
      3 They were saying among themselves, "Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?"
      4 for it was very big. Looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back.
      5 Entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were amazed.
      6 He said to them, "Don't be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen. He is not here. Behold, the place where they laid him!
      7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He goes before you into Galilee. There you will see him, as he said to you.'"
      8 They went out, and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had come on them. They said nothing to anyone; for they were afraid.
      9 Now when he had risen early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.
      10 She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
      11 When they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, they disbelieved.
      12 After these things he was revealed in another form to two of them, as they walked, on their way into the country.
      13 They went away and told it to the rest. They didn't believe them, either.
      14 Afterward he was revealed to the eleven themselves as they sat at the table, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they didn't believe those who had seen him after he had risen.
      15 He said to them, "Go into all the world, and preach the Good News to the whole creation.
      16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned.
      17 These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages;
      18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will in no way hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."
      19 So then the Lord , after he had spoken to them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
      20 They went out, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen.

      Luc 24

      42 They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.
