Strong's Lexicon okel: Food, nourishment, provision Original Word: אֹכֶל Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: okel Pronunciation: oh'-kel Phonetic Spelling: (o'-kel) Definition: food Meaning: The noun אֹכֶל primarily denotes "food" or "that which is eaten." It encompasses all forms of sustenance consumed by humans and animals. Word Origin: Derived from the root verb אָכַל (akal), which means "to eat" or "to consume." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1033 (βρῶμα, brōma): Refers to food or that which is eaten, similar to אֹכֶל in its general sense. • G4621 (σιτία, sitia): Denotes provisions or food supplies, often used in the context of stored or prepared food. • G5160 (τροφή, trophē): Another term for food, emphasizing nourishment and sustenance, akin to the Hebrew concept of אֹכֶל. These Greek terms reflect the continuity of the concept of food as essential sustenance across both the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures, highlighting its importance in the daily life and spiritual symbolism within the biblical narrative. Usage: The term אֹכֶל is used throughout the Hebrew Bible to refer to food in a general sense, including meals, provisions, and sustenance necessary for life. It appears in various contexts, from everyday meals to ritualistic offerings. Context: אֹכֶל is a common term in the Hebrew Scriptures, appearing in numerous passages to describe the basic necessity of food for survival. It is often used in narratives describing God's provision for His people, such as in Genesis 1:29, where God provides every seed-bearing plant and tree with fruit as food for humanity. In Exodus 16:15, the term is used in the context of manna, the miraculous food provided by God to the Israelites in the wilderness: "When the Israelites saw it, they asked one another, 'What is it?' For they did not know what it was. So Moses told them, 'It is the bread that the LORD has given you to eat.'" אֹכֶל also appears in legal texts, such as dietary laws, and in wisdom literature, where it can symbolize both physical and spiritual nourishment. The concept of food in the Hebrew Bible often extends beyond mere physical sustenance, symbolizing God's care, provision, and the abundance of His creation.
