Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb נָזַד (nazad), meaning "to boil" or "to cook."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • There is no direct Greek equivalent for נָזִיד in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as the concept of a specific type of stew or soup is culturally and contextually specific to the Hebrew narrative. However, the broader concept of food or meal might be related to Greek terms such as βρῶμα (broma, Strong's Greek 1033) meaning "food" or "meat," which encompasses the general idea of sustenance.

Usage: The term נָזִיד is used in the context of a cooked dish, specifically referring to a stew or soup. It appears in the narrative of Esau and Jacob, where it describes the lentil stew that Jacob prepared.

Context: • נָזִיד (nazid) is a masculine noun that appears in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the book of Genesis. It is most notably used in Genesis 25:29-34, where it describes the lentil stew that Jacob cooked. In this passage, Esau, returning famished from the field, requests some of the stew from Jacob. Jacob agrees to give Esau the stew in exchange for his birthright, highlighting the significance of the stew in this pivotal moment of the biblical narrative.
• The term נָזִיד is indicative of a common, everyday meal in ancient Near Eastern culture, emphasizing the simplicity and basic sustenance provided by such a dish. The narrative context in Genesis underscores themes of desire, impulsivity, and the consequences of undervaluing one's inheritance.
• In the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), Genesis 25:29-34 reads: "Now Jacob cooked a stew, and when Esau came in from the field and was famished, he said to Jacob, 'Please let me have some of that red stew, for I am famished.' That is why he was also called Edom. 'First sell me your birthright,' Jacob replied. 'Look,' said Esau, 'I am about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?' 'Swear to me first,' Jacob said. So Esau swore to Jacob and sold him the birthright. Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then got up and went on his way. So Esau despised his birthright."
• The use of נָזִיד in this passage serves as a narrative device to explore deeper theological and moral lessons, such as the value of spiritual inheritance over immediate physical gratification.
