It is used in the context of physically eating or consuming something. In the New Testament, it often appears in discussions about food, dietary practices, or metaphorically to describe spiritual consumption.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, eating was not only a necessity but also a social activity. Meals were often communal and could signify fellowship and unity. In Jewish culture, dietary laws were significant, and what one ate could reflect one's adherence to the Law of Moses. The early Christian community grappled with these dietary laws, especially as Gentiles joined the faith, leading to discussions about what was permissible to eat.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>akin to bora (food)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to eat<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>eaten (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 977: βιβρώσκω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">βιβρώσκω</span></span>: perfect <span class="greek2">βέβρωκα</span>; <span class="accented">to eat</span>: <a href="/interlinear/john/6-13.htm">John 6:13</a>.
