Strong's Lexicon brósis: Eating, food, consumption Original Word: βρῶσις Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb βιβρώσκω (bibróskō), meaning "to eat" or "to consume." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Hebrew 3899: לֶחֶם (lechem) – bread, food - Strong's Hebrew 400: אָכַל (akal) – to eat, consume Usage: The term "brósis" primarily refers to the act of eating or the process of consuming food. It can also denote food itself, particularly in the context of sustenance or nourishment. In the New Testament, "brósis" is often used metaphorically to describe spiritual nourishment or the consumption of spiritual truths. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, meals were significant social events, often reflecting one's social status and community relationships. Eating together was a sign of fellowship and unity. In Jewish culture, dietary laws and practices were central to religious life, symbolizing purity and obedience to God. The early Christian community redefined these practices, emphasizing spiritual nourishment through Christ, the "bread of life."
