Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primary verbCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for τρώγω, the concept of eating in a spiritual or covenantal context can be related to Hebrew verbs such as אָכַל (akal, Strong's H398), which means "to eat" and is used throughout the Old Testament in both literal and figurative senses. The act of eating in Hebrew scripture often carries covenantal and communal significance, paralleling the New Testament's use of τρώγω in the context of spiritual communion. Usage: The verb τρώγω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of eating, often with a focus on the physical act of chewing or consuming food. It is distinct from other Greek verbs for eating, such as ἐσθίω (esthiō), which is more general. Context: The Greek verb τρώγω appears in the New Testament primarily in the context of Jesus' teachings, particularly in the Gospel of John. It is used to convey a deeper, more intimate act of consumption, often with spiritual implications. In John 6:54-58, Jesus uses τρώγω to describe the act of eating His flesh and drinking His blood, emphasizing the necessity of a deep, abiding relationship with Him for eternal life. This usage underscores the importance of internalizing and fully partaking in the life and sacrifice of Christ.
