Strong's Lexicon mazon: Food, provision, sustenance Original Word: מָזוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root זון (zun), which means "to sustain" or "to feed." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5160 (τροφή, trophe) - meaning "food" or "nourishment." - G1033 (βρῶμα, broma) - meaning "food" or "meat." Usage: The Hebrew word "mazon" primarily refers to food or sustenance necessary for life. It is used in the context of physical nourishment and provision, emphasizing God's role as the provider of all needs. In the Old Testament, "mazon" is often associated with God's provision for His people, whether through miraculous means, such as manna in the wilderness, or through the natural bounty of the land. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, food was a central part of daily life and religious practice. Agriculture was the primary means of sustenance, and the Israelites depended on the cycles of planting and harvest. The concept of God as the provider of "mazon" was deeply ingrained in the culture, as seen in the festivals and offerings that celebrated God's provision. The reliance on God for daily bread was a reminder of their dependence on Him, both physically and spiritually.
