These Hebrew entries correspond to the concept of eating and consuming, similar to the Greek βιβρώσκω, and are used throughout the Old Testament to describe the act of eating, the provision of food, and the sustenance of life.

Usage: The verb βιβρώσκω is used in the context of eating or consuming food. It appears in the New Testament to describe the act of eating, often in a literal sense.

Context: The Greek verb βιβρώσκω is a primary verb that means "to eat" or "to consume." It is used in the New Testament to describe the physical act of eating. This verb is relatively rare in the New Testament, appearing in contexts that emphasize the act of consuming food. The usage of βιβρώσκω can be seen in passages where eating is a central theme, often highlighting the provision of sustenance or the act of sharing a meal.

In the Berean Standard Bible, βιβρώσκω is translated in a straightforward manner, reflecting its literal meaning. The act of eating in biblical times was not only a necessity for survival but also a communal activity that often held spiritual and social significance. Meals were occasions for fellowship, teaching, and the demonstration of hospitality.

Theologically, eating can also symbolize spiritual nourishment and the sustenance provided by God. In the broader biblical narrative, the provision of food is frequently associated with God's care and provision for His people. The act of eating, therefore, can carry deeper implications beyond the mere physical act, pointing to themes of divine provision and community.
