Exegesis
The prepositional construct al-penei hasadeh {עַל־פְּנֵי הַשָּׂדֶה | ʿal-pə-nê ha-sā-deh} ‘upon the surface of the field’ uses penei as the governing construct noun for hasadeh, specifying where the honey is found. English renders the Hebrew temporal and result clauses with SVO order while preserving locative emphasis through “into” and “upon.”
Root and etymology
ע־ל
“upon, on”
In context — 1 Samuel 14:25
And all the people came into the forest, and there was honey upon the surface of the field.
