Meals were significant social and religious events, often reflecting one's status and hospitality. The Bible provides various insights into the customs and significance of meals, including what might be considered "dinner."<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, meals were integral to daily life and religious observance. The Hebrew word often translated as "meal" or "feast" is "mishteh," which can refer to a banquet or a drinking feast. Meals were occasions for fellowship, covenant-making, and celebration. For example, in <a href="/genesis/18.htm">Genesis 18:1-8</a>, Abraham prepares a meal for the three visitors, demonstrating hospitality and reverence. The Passover meal, as described in <a href="/bsb/exodus/12.htm">Exodus 12</a>, is another significant example, serving as a memorial of God's deliverance of Israel from Egypt.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, meals continue to hold social and spiritual importance. Jesus frequently used meals as opportunities for teaching and fellowship. The Last Supper, described in the Synoptic Gospels (e.g., <a href="/matthew/26-26.htm">Matthew 26:26-29</a>), is a pivotal event where Jesus institutes the Lord's Supper, a sacrament commemorating His sacrifice.<br><br>The term "dinner" is specifically mentioned in the parable of the Great Banquet in <a href="/luke/14-12.htm">Luke 14:12-24</a>. Jesus uses the setting of a dinner to teach about humility and the kingdom of God. In <a href="/luke/14-12.htm">Luke 14:12</a> , Jesus advises, "When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return, and you will be repaid."<br><br><b>Cultural and Social Aspects</b><br><br>Meals in biblical times were typically eaten in a reclining position, especially during formal occasions. The host's role was crucial, as hospitality was a highly valued virtue. Sharing a meal was a sign of fellowship and acceptance, as seen in Jesus' interactions with tax collectors and sinners (e.g., <a href="/matthew/9-10.htm">Matthew 9:10-13</a>).<br><br>The early Christian community also placed importance on communal meals, as seen in <a href="/acts/2-46.htm">Acts 2:46</a> : "With one accord they continued to meet daily in the temple courts and to break bread from house to house, sharing their meals with gladness and sincerity of heart." This practice emphasized unity and fellowship among believers.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Spiritual Lessons</b><br><br>Meals in the Bible often carry symbolic meanings. The Messianic Banquet, a future eschatological feast, is a recurring theme in prophetic literature, symbolizing the ultimate fellowship with God (<a href="/isaiah/25-6.htm">Isaiah 25:6-9</a>). Jesus' parables frequently use the imagery of a banquet to illustrate the kingdom of God, highlighting themes of invitation, acceptance, and rejection.<br><br>In <a href="/revelation/3-20.htm">Revelation 3:20</a> , Jesus extends a personal invitation: "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him, and he with Me." This verse underscores the intimate fellowship offered by Christ to believers.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>While the Bible does not explicitly define "dinner" as a distinct meal, the concept of shared meals is deeply woven into the fabric of biblical narrative and theology. Meals serve as a backdrop for divine encounters, teachings, and expressions of community, reflecting the broader spiritual truths of hospitality, fellowship, and the kingdom of God.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

The "morning morsel," as the is Talmud calls it, was in no sense a "meal." The peasant or artisan, before beginning work, might "break (his) fast" (<a href="/john/21-12.htm">John 21:12, 15</a>) by taking a bit of barley bread with some simple relish, but to "eat (a full meal) in the morning" was a reproach (<a href="/ecclesiastes/10-16.htm">Ecclesiastes 10:16</a>). The full meal was not to be taken until a little before or after sunset, when the laborers had come in from their work (<a href="/luke/17-7.htm">Luke 17:7</a>; compare the "supper time" of <a href="/luke/14-17.htm">Luke 14:17</a>). The noon meal, taken at an hour when climatic conditions called for rest from exertion (the ariston of the Greeks, rendered "dinner" in English Versions of the Bible, <a href="/matthew/22-4.htm">Matthew 22:4</a> <a href="/luke/11-38.htm">Luke 11:38</a>, the Revised Version, margin "breakfast"), was generally very simple, of bread soaked in light wine with a handful of parched corn (<a href="/ruth/2-14.htm">Ruth 2:14</a>), or of "pottage and bread broken into a bowl" (Bel and the Dragon 33), or of bread and broiled fish (<a href="/john/21-13.htm">John 21:13</a>). Many, when on journey especially, content with one meal a day, taken after sunset. In general, eating at other times casual and informal; evening is the time for the formal meal, or feast.
