Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "nazid" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the concept of stew is more culturally specific to the Hebrew context. However, the Greek word "φαγητόν" (phageton, G1033) meaning "food" or "meal" can be considered a broader term encompassing various types of prepared dishes.

Usage: The Hebrew word "nazid" refers to a cooked dish, typically a stew or pottage. It is used in the context of a meal prepared by boiling ingredients together, often including lentils or other legumes. The term is associated with nourishment and sustenance, reflecting a common and practical aspect of ancient Near Eastern cuisine.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, stews were a staple part of the diet, made from readily available ingredients such as lentils, beans, and vegetables. Cooking a stew was a practical way to prepare a meal that could feed many people using limited resources. The preparation of "nazid" would have been a familiar domestic task, often associated with hospitality and the sharing of meals within the community.
