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.
