Berean Strong's Lexicon zan: To provide, to sustain, to feed Original Word: זָן Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of provision is "τρέφω" (trepho), which also means to nourish or feed. This term is used in passages like Matthew 6:26, where Jesus speaks of God's provision for the birds. Usage: The Hebrew verb "zan" primarily means to provide sustenance or nourishment. It is often used in the context of God providing for His people, ensuring their physical needs are met. This term underscores the divine provision and care that God extends to His creation, emphasizing His role as a sustainer and provider. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of provision was deeply tied to the agrarian lifestyle. The Israelites depended on the land for their sustenance, and thus, the idea of God as a provider was central to their understanding of His covenant relationship with them. The provision of food and resources was seen as a direct blessing from God, and the failure of crops or famine was often interpreted as a sign of divine displeasure or a call to repentance.
