Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Aramaic; akin to the Hebrew root זָנַן (zanán), which means to feed or to provide.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: Strong's Greek Number 5595: ψωμίζω (psōmizō) • to feed, to give morsels
Strong's Greek Number 5526: χορτάζω (chortazō) • to feed, to fill, to satisfy

These Greek terms similarly convey the act of feeding or providing sustenance, aligning with the meaning of the Aramaic זַן (zan). They are used in the New Testament to describe acts of feeding, both in literal and metaphorical contexts, such as the feeding of the multitudes by Jesus.

Usage: This term is used in the context of providing sustenance or nourishment, often in a physical sense, but it can also imply provision in a broader sense.

Context: The Aramaic word זַן (zan) appears in the context of the Old Testament, particularly in the books that contain Aramaic sections, such as Daniel and Ezra. It is used to describe the act of feeding or providing sustenance. This term reflects the cultural and historical context of the Ancient Near East, where the provision of food was a central aspect of life and often symbolized care and responsibility. In the biblical narrative, the concept of feeding is not only a physical necessity but also a metaphor for spiritual and communal support. The use of זַן in the Aramaic portions of the Bible highlights the linguistic diversity of the text and the integration of different cultural influences in the biblical tradition.
