Nectar on the Bride's Lips - Israel and God Praising One Another

"And He gave to Moses when He had finished" (Exodus 31:18). This is what Scripture says: "Your lips drip nectar, O bride" (Song of Songs 4:11). See the praise with which the Holy One, blessed be He, extols the Congregation of Israel. Rabbi Judah bar Abba said: He praises her from below to above, and she praises Him from above to below. Why so? Because she was below, and He raised her up above; for she was enslaved with bricks, and He redeemed her. And she praises Him from above to below, for He is set above the seven firmaments, and she brought Him down beside her. See the praise with which He extols her: "Your lips drip nectar." Rabbi Yochanan said: What is "nectar" (nofet)? "Kalonympi" — it is a Greek word. Rabbi Eleazar said: "Nectar" (nofet) is the honey of Tzofim; there is a honey that is called "the nectar of Tzofim" (nofet tzufim), which is the finest of all the honey in the world. So too you are the finest of all the nations in the world. "Your lips drip nectar, [honey and milk are under your tongue]" — when? At the hour when you are engaged in the Torah.
