Commentary

And when he mentioned what is not suitable to be eaten except when fresh without delay, he followed it with what does not spoil in any condition, neither on its mother nor after harvesting. It is suitable after harvesting to be eaten or juiced, and it has oil for lighting, anointing, and cooking. In it, there is strength for the bones and the nerves, and water does not spoil it in any way, just as grapes are juiced to produce syrup and vinegar and others. Whenever it is mixed with water, it spoils. He said: 'And olives' which, along with what has passed, has freshness and tenderness in it that improves the flavor. And when he mentioned what does not spoil and its tree endures the cold, he followed it with what is like grapes that are eaten on their mother and cut to be stored. It combines sweetness and sourness with vinegar, enjoyment, strength, and healing for the deadly poison and the overpowering magic from the dates of the noble city and other fruits and trees. Its tree does not endure the cold, so he said: 'And date palms.' Each of these trees differs from the other in shape, yield, and other characteristics while agreeing in land and irrigation.
