Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1033 (βρῶμα, brōma) - food, that which is eaten - G5160 (τροφή, trophē) - nourishment, food Usage: The Hebrew word "okel" primarily refers to food or anything that is consumed for nourishment. It is used in the context of physical sustenance, often highlighting God's provision for His people. The term can also imply the broader concept of sustenance, including spiritual nourishment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, food was not only a basic necessity but also a symbol of God's blessing and provision. The agrarian society depended heavily on the land's produce, and food was often associated with covenantal blessings. Feasts and meals held significant cultural and religious importance, serving as times for community gathering and worship. The provision of food was seen as a direct blessing from God, and the lack thereof was often interpreted as a sign of divine displeasure or judgment.
