Strong's Lexicon zan: To feed, to provide, to sustain Original Word: זַן Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament for the concept of feeding or providing is "τῆς τροφῆς" (tēs trophēs), which can be found in passages like Matthew 6:11, "Give us this day our daily bread." Usage: The Hebrew verb "zan" primarily means to feed or to provide sustenance. It is often used in the context of God providing for His people or individuals providing for their families or livestock. The term conveys the idea of nourishment and care, emphasizing the provision of necessary resources for life and well-being. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of provision was deeply tied to the agrarian lifestyle. The ability to feed one's family and livestock was a sign of God's blessing and favor. The Israelites understood that their sustenance came from God, who provided rain, fertile land, and fruitful harvests. This understanding was reflected in their religious practices, including offerings and thanksgiving to God for His provision.
