COMMENTS
*1 So the famous phrase
------------------------------------------
A LAND flowing with milk and sweet juices
------------------------------------------

really means
------------------------------------------
A LAND WHOSE INHABITANTS (Goats for milk
and Fruit trees for sweet juices) flows
with milk and honey
------------------------------------------

*2 Rashi brings support for his contention that
LAMB can SYNECDOCHICALLY mean any docile
young creature (the same way BREAD means FOOD etc)
See Dt14-04 -- A GOAT-LAMB

*3 See LIST817b*10 for examples. For the while we
point out that because of the snakes characteristic
motion (JUMPING out at a prey),the phrase TO SNAKE
came to mean TO JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS (Just as in
the English Metaphor).

Hence the Rabbis interpret the prohibition of
SNAKING as a prohibition of JUMPING TO
CONCLUSIONS (eg a Snake crossed my path
hence I will have bad luck)

*4 For other Rashis dealing with the HONEY-SWEET
equation see Lv02-11a Ex34-26a Ex16-31b Ex13-05c
Note how Rashi differs in his explanations.
Rashi states both
- HONEY refers to ANY SWEET FRUIT
- HONEY refers to FRUIT JUICE OF the TAMAR fruit

*5 Rashi on this verse explicitly states
-----------------------------------
The Bible uses the tecnique
of EXAGGERATION/HYPERBOLE
-----------------------------------
