He would mount him on the elevations of the earth, and he, Israel, ate the yield of the field, meaning the manna, water, and quail provided for them in the wilderness. He suckled him honey from a stone, and oil from a flinty rock.

חֶמְאַ֨ת בָּקָ֜ר וַחֲלֵ֣ב צֹ֗אן עִם־חֵ֨לֶב כָּרִ֜ים וְאֵילִ֤ים בְּנֵֽי־בָשָׁן֙ וְעַתּוּדִ֔ים עִם־חֵ֖לֶב כִּלְי֣וֹת חִטָּ֑ה וְדַם־עֵנָ֖ב תִּשְׁתֶּה־חָֽמֶר׃

The people also received butter of cattle, and milk of sheep, with fat of large lambs, and rams of the Bashan, a fertile region in which exceptional crops and animals grow, and goats, with wheat fat as kidneys. The wheat kernels evoke kidneys, perhaps because of the groove running through them. And the

They, the children of Israel, would anger God and infuriate Him with their worship of strangers, other gods; with abominations they anger Him.

Those who practiced idolatry did not worship only strange gods; they would even slaughter to demons, which they knew were a non-god. Nevertheless, they sacrificed to demons in order to find favor in their eyes. Due to the influence of the surrounding nations, they would worship gods that they did not know, new ones that came recently; your fathers did not consider them . Alternatively, your fathers did not fear them, or your fathers had no dealings with them.
