Strong's Lexicon bróma: Food, meat Original Word: βρῶμα Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb βιβρώσκω (bibróskō), meaning "to eat" or "to devour." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H3899 (לֶחֶם, lechem): Bread, food - H400 (אָכְלָה, okhlah): Food, meal Usage: In the New Testament, "bróma" primarily refers to physical food or sustenance. It is used to describe what is consumed for nourishment, often in the context of dietary practices or spiritual metaphors. The term can also imply the distinction between permissible and impermissible foods under Jewish law, as well as the broader spiritual implications of what believers consume. Cultural and Historical Background: In the first-century Greco-Roman world, food was not only a basic necessity but also a significant aspect of social and religious life. Jewish dietary laws, as outlined in the Torah, played a crucial role in the daily lives of Jewish people, distinguishing them from Gentiles. Early Christians grappled with these dietary laws, especially as the Gospel spread to Gentile communities. The consumption of food offered to idols was a contentious issue, as was the observance of Jewish dietary restrictions.
