Aliya Summary: Moshe then speaks of the Israelites' future. G‑d
settled them in the Land of Israel, the "peak of the earth." He provided
them with their every need, the choicest produce, fruit and cattle. But
Israel "became fat and rebelled," and abandoned the G‑d that made them
and provided them with all their wealth and fortune. Instead they
strayed after idols and abominable activities.
Even
from this poetic - essentially non-halachic context, we learn things of a
halachic nature. Because the Torah uses the expression: To suckle honey
from a rock, we are taught that honey has the status in halacha of a
liquid. Because of its unique physical proper ties, honey might have
been considered as a solid food rather than a drink.
