The Hebrew word "בָּשָׂר" (basar) and the Greek word "κρέας" (kreas) are commonly translated as "meat" in the context of animal flesh, while "food" is a broader term encompassing all sustenance.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, meat was a significant part of the diet, especially in the context of sacrificial offerings. The Israelites were given specific dietary laws regarding the consumption of meat. <a href="/bsb/leviticus/11.htm">Leviticus 11</a> and <a href="/bsb/deuteronomy/14.htm">Deuteronomy 14</a> outline clean and unclean animals, with only clean animals being permissible for consumption. For example, <a href="/leviticus/11-3.htm">Leviticus 11:3</a> states, "You may eat any animal that has a split hoof completely divided and that chews the cud."<br><br>The sacrificial system also involved the consumption of meat. Certain portions of the sacrifices were designated for the priests and the offerer. For instance, in <a href="/leviticus/7-31.htm">Leviticus 7:31-32</a>, the breast and the right thigh of the peace offerings were given to the priests.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the consumption of meat continues to be addressed, particularly in the context of Christian liberty and conscience. The early church grappled with issues surrounding meat offered to idols. In <a href="/1_corinthians/8-8.htm">1 Corinthians 8:8</a>, Paul writes, "But food does not bring us closer to God: We are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do."<br><br>The New Testament also emphasizes the principle of not causing others to stumble in their faith. <a href="/romans/14-21.htm">Romans 14:21</a> advises, "It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything to cause your brother to stumble."<br><br><b>Symbolic and Spiritual Significance</b><br><br>Meat also holds symbolic and spiritual significance in the Bible. In the Old Testament, the Passover lamb, whose flesh was eaten, prefigures Christ as the Lamb of God. In the New Testament, Jesus refers to His flesh as true food in <a href="/john/6-55.htm">John 6:55</a>, "For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink," highlighting the spiritual nourishment found in Him.<br><br><b>Dietary Practices and Christian Liberty</b><br><br>The New Testament church faced debates over dietary practices, particularly between Jewish and Gentile believers. The Jerusalem Council in <a href="/bsb/acts/15.htm">Acts 15</a> addressed these issues, advising Gentile converts to abstain from meat sacrificed to idols, blood, and meat from strangled animals (<a href="/acts/15-29.htm">Acts 15:29</a>).<br><br>Paul's epistles further explore the theme of Christian liberty concerning dietary choices. In <a href="/1_timothy/4-4.htm">1 Timothy 4:4-5</a>, he states, "For every creation of God is good, and nothing that is received with thanksgiving should be rejected, because it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer."<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The biblical perspective on meat encompasses dietary laws, sacrificial practices, and spiritual symbolism. While the Old Testament provides specific guidelines for the Israelites, the New Testament emphasizes freedom in Christ and the importance of conscience and love in dietary choices.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
