It conveys the act of providing sustenance or nourishment, typically in a humble or modest manner. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the act of feeding others, often with a sense of care or charity.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, sharing a meal was a significant social and communal activity. Bread was a staple food, and offering a piece of bread to someone was a gesture of hospitality and fellowship. The act of feeding others, especially the poor or needy, was seen as a virtuous deed, reflecting the values of charity and compassion prevalent in early Christian communities.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/5596.htm">psómion</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to feed with morsels<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>feed (2), give (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5595: ψωμίζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ψωμίζω</span></span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐψώμισά</span>; (<span class="greek2">ψωμός</span>, a bit, a morsel; see <span class="greek2">ψσομιον</span>); <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> <span class="accented">to feed by putting a bit or crumb (of food) into the mouth</span> (of infants, the young of animals, etc.): <span class="greek2">τινα</span> <span class="greek2">τίνι</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Aristophanes</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Aristotle</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plutarch</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Geoponica</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Artemidorus</span> Daldianus, oneir. 5, 62; <span class="abbreviation">Porphyry</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Jamblichus</span>). <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> universally, <span class="accented">to feed, nourish</span> (the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">הֶאֱכִיל</span>) (<span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, § 2, 1 b.): <span class="greek2">τινα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/romans/12-20.htm">Romans 12:20</a>; <span class="abbreviation">Clement of Rome</span>, 1 Cor. 55, 2 [ET]; with the accusative of the thing, <span class="accented">to give a thing to feed someone, feed out to</span> (<span class="manuref">Vulg.</span> distribuo in cibos pauperun (<span class="abbreviation">A.
