This verb describes both literal sweetness to the palate and metaphorical pleasantness to the soul. When Moses throws wood into the bitter waters at Marah, they 'become sweet' (Ex 15:25). Proverbs 9:17 uses it figuratively: 'stolen water tastes sweet,' capturing the seductive appeal of forbidden pleasure. In Job, the verb describes pleasant experiences—clods of earth sweet to a man (21:33) or the grave sweet to the wicked (24:20). The range shows how taste became a template for evaluating all of life.
