Strong's Lexicon path-bag: Delicacy, portion, choice food Original Word: פַתְבַּג Word Origin: Derived from Persian origin Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of "delicacies" or "choice food" can be related to Greek terms like "τρυφή" (truphē - G5172), which means luxury or daintiness. Usage: The Hebrew word "path-bag" refers to a portion of food, often implying a delicacy or choice portion. It is used to describe the luxurious and rich foods typically served at royal tables or during significant feasts. The term conveys the idea of abundance and the finest quality, often associated with the wealth and opulence of a king's banquet. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, sharing a meal was a significant social and cultural event. Meals were not only about sustenance but also about fellowship, status, and hospitality. The use of "path-bag" in the Hebrew Bible reflects the importance of food in establishing social bonds and demonstrating wealth and generosity. In the Persian Empire, from which the term originates, banquets were grand affairs, showcasing the empire's prosperity and the king's favor.
