Strong's Lexicon zun: To feed, to supply, to provide Original Word: זוּן Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of provision is "τρεφω" (trepho - Strong's Greek 5142), which also means to nourish or feed. Usage: The Hebrew verb "zun" primarily conveys the idea of providing sustenance or nourishment. It is often used in contexts where physical provision, such as food or resources, is given to sustain life. The term can also imply a broader sense of supplying needs or ensuring that someone or something is adequately cared for. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of provision was deeply tied to the agrarian lifestyle. The Israelites depended on the land for their sustenance, and the act of feeding or providing was not only a practical necessity but also a reflection of God's covenantal faithfulness. The provision of food and resources was seen as a blessing from God, who is often depicted as the ultimate provider for His people.
