Strong's Lexicon brósimos: Edible, fit for food Original Word: βρῶσιμος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb βρῶσις (brósis), meaning "eating" or "food." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "brósimos," the concept of edible or permissible food is related to Hebrew terms like טָהוֹר (tahor, Strong's H2889), meaning "clean" or "pure," which is used in the context of clean foods in Levitical law. Usage: The term "brósimos" is used to describe something that is suitable for consumption, particularly in the context of food that is permissible or appropriate to eat. It emphasizes the quality of being edible or fit for nourishment. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, dietary laws and customs were significant, both in Jewish and Gentile contexts. For Jews, the concept of food being "edible" was closely tied to the dietary laws outlined in the Torah, which distinguished between clean and unclean foods. In the early Christian community, discussions about what was permissible to eat often arose, especially as the Gospel spread to Gentile regions where different dietary practices were observed.
