Footnotes
נֹפֶת (nofet) is specifically the honey that drips spontaneously from the comb — the finest, purest grade, distinct from extracted honey (דְּבַשׁ, devash). Both words appear here: nofet ('wild honey/nectar') on the lips and devash under the tongue. The pairing 'honey and milk' echoes the covenant land formula ('a land flowing with milk and honey'), subtly imaging the beloved as a living embodiment of the promised inheritance — Paradise made flesh.
