In biblical times, the method of cooking food by broiling, which involves exposing food to direct heat, was a common practice. This method is mentioned in the context of preparing meals, particularly in relation to fish and meat. Broiling was a practical and efficient way to cook food, especially in a culture where open flames and simple cooking implements were the norm.

One of the most notable references to broiled food in the Bible is found in the New Testament, after the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus appears to His disciples and asks for something to eat. They offer Him a piece of broiled fish. The passage reads: "They gave Him a piece of broiled fish, and He took it and ate it in their presence" (Luke 24:42-43). This event underscores the reality of Jesus' physical resurrection, as He partakes in a common meal with His disciples, demonstrating His bodily presence.

Broiling, as a method of cooking, is also implied in the preparation of sacrificial offerings in the Old Testament. While the specific term "broiled" is not used, the process of cooking meat over an open flame is consistent with broiling. The Israelites were instructed in various sacrificial practices, which often involved roasting or cooking meat as part of their offerings to God. For example, in the Passover instructions, the Israelites were commanded to roast the lamb over a fire (Exodus 12:8-9), a method akin to broiling.

The use of broiled food in biblical narratives highlights the simplicity and practicality of ancient culinary practices. It also serves as a cultural touchpoint, illustrating the everyday life and customs of the people during biblical times. The act of broiling, whether for a common meal or a sacred offering, reflects the integration of daily life with spiritual observance, a theme prevalent throughout the Scriptures.(imp. & p. p.) of Broil.3702. optos -- roasted
