Strong's Lexicon makkoleth: Food, provision Original Word: מַכֹּלֶת Word Origin: Derived from the root verb אָכַל (akal), meaning "to eat" or "to consume." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence in the Greek New Testament, the concept of food and provision is captured by words such as τροφή (trophe, Strong's G5160) and βρῶμα (broma, Strong's G1033), which also refer to food or nourishment. Usage: The term "makkoleth" refers to food or provisions, typically in the context of sustenance or nourishment. It is used to denote the physical sustenance necessary for life, often in the context of what is provided or consumed. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, food was not only a basic necessity but also a symbol of God's provision and blessing. Meals were often communal and held significant social and religious importance. The sharing of food was a sign of fellowship and hospitality, and the provision of food was seen as a direct blessing from God, who provided for His people in the wilderness and in the Promised Land.
