However, the concept of lentils as a food item can be related to general terms for legumes or food in Greek, though no specific Strong's Greek entry corresponds directly to lentils. Usage: The term עָדָשׁ (ʿādāsh) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to lentils, a type of legume that was a common food in the ancient Near East. Context: The Hebrew word עָדָשׁ (ʿādāsh) appears in the context of food and sustenance in the Old Testament. Lentils were a staple in the diet of ancient Israelites, valued for their nutritional content and ease of cultivation. The most notable biblical reference to lentils is found in the story of Esau and Jacob. In Genesis 25:34, Esau sells his birthright to Jacob for a meal of bread and lentil stew, highlighting the significance of lentils as a nourishing and desirable food. The passage reads: "Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew; he ate and drank, and then got up and went on his way. So Esau despised his birthright." (Berean Standard Bible). Additionally, lentils are mentioned in 2 Samuel 17:28, where they are listed among the provisions brought to David and his people during their flight from Absalom. The inclusion of lentils in these narratives underscores their role as a basic and essential food item in biblical times.
