Strong's Lexicon path-bag: Delicacy, portion, choice food Original Word: פַתְבַּג Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: pathbag Pronunciation: path-bag Phonetic Spelling: (pathbag') Definition: a dainty Meaning: A dainty, a delicacy, or a choice portion of food. Word Origin: Of foreign origin Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for פַתְבַּג (Pathbag) in the Strong's Concordance. However, the concept of luxurious or choice foods can be related to Greek terms that describe similar ideas of delicacies or sumptuous meals, such as τρυφή (truphē • Strong's Greek 5172), which means luxury or indulgence. Usage: The term פַתְבַּג (Pathbag) is used in the context of describing luxurious or choice food items, often associated with royal or noble settings. Context: פַתְבַּג (Pathbag) appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts that highlight the opulence and luxury of certain foods, typically those served in royal courts. The term is used to describe the rich and sumptuous fare that is often reserved for kings and their guests. This word is found in the book of Daniel, where it is used to describe the food provided by the king of Babylon. In Daniel 1:5, the text states, "The king assigned them a daily portion of the king’s delicacies and of the wine he drank." Here, פַתְבַּג (Pathbag) underscores the contrast between the rich, indulgent lifestyle of the Babylonian court and the simpler, more disciplined diet chosen by Daniel and his companions. The use of this term reflects the cultural and social significance of food in ancient Near Eastern societies, where meals were not only a means of sustenance but also a symbol of status and power.
