Strong's Lexicon bibróskó: To eat, consume Original Word: βιβρώσκω Word Origin: A primary verb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with eating is אָכַל (akal - Strong's H398), which also means to eat or consume. Usage: The Greek verb "bibróskó" means to eat or consume food. It is used in the context of physically eating or consuming something. In the New Testament, it often appears in discussions about food, dietary practices, or metaphorically to describe spiritual consumption. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, eating was not only a necessity but also a social activity. Meals were often communal and could signify fellowship and unity. In Jewish culture, dietary laws were significant, and what one ate could reflect one's adherence to the Law of Moses. The early Christian community grappled with these dietary laws, especially as Gentiles joined the faith, leading to discussions about what was permissible to eat.
