However, the concept of God's provision can be linked to Greek terms related to provision and sustenance, such as "τροφή" (trophē - food) or "χορτάζω" (chortazō - to feed, to satisfy).<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew word "selav" refers to quail, a type of bird that is mentioned in the context of God's provision for the Israelites during their wilderness journey. It is used to describe the miraculous provision of meat when the Israelites complained about their lack of food.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, quail were known to migrate in large flocks, and they were a common source of food. The Israelites, during their exodus from Egypt, experienced God's provision of quail as a response to their complaints about the lack of meat. This event is significant as it demonstrates God's ability to provide for His people in miraculous ways, even in the desert.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>probably of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>quail<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>quail (3), quails (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">שְׂלָו</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font><sup>Exodus 16:13</sup> <font size="+1"><b>quail</b></font> (probably foreign word; Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb096901.gif">, Syriac <img src="/bdbgif/bdb096902.gif">, Samaritan <img src="/bdbgif/bdb096903.gif">); — <em>quail, coturnix communis</em> or <em>vulguris</em> (Tristr<sup>NHB 229 ff.
