Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root אָכַל (akal), meaning "to eat" or "consume."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for מַאֲכֹלֶת in the Strong's Greek lexicon. However, related concepts of eating and consumption can be found in Greek terms such as βρῶσις (brosis, Strong's Greek 1035), meaning "food" or "eating," and καύσις (kausis, Strong's Greek 2740), meaning "burning" or "consumption by fire." These terms capture the dual aspects of consumption present in the Hebrew מַאֲכֹלֶת. Usage: The word מַאֲכֹלֶת is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe items that are consumed, either as food or as fuel. It appears in contexts where the provision or consumption of food is discussed. Context: מַאֲכֹלֶת is a noun that appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote items that are consumed, primarily in the context of food. The term is used in Genesis 22:6, where Abraham takes the wood for the burnt offering and places it on Isaac, his son, while he himself carries the fire and the knife. The word מַאֲכֹלֶת in this passage is translated as "knife" in the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), indicating an instrument used in the preparation of a sacrifice, which involves the consumption of the offering by fire. This usage highlights the dual aspect of the term, encompassing both the act of eating and the act of burning as forms of consumption.
