It is used to describe the act of feeding or providing sustenance.

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.
