'Eat' in the Bible
There were those who were saying, "Our sons and daughters, we are many. We must get grain so that we may eat and live."
Moreover, from the appointed day I was made their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year until the thirty-second year of King Artaxerxes--twelve years. My brothers and I did not eat the food [allowance] of the governor.
So the governor said to them that they could not eat the most holy food until a priest could come with Urim and Thummim.
Then he said to them, "Go, eat festive food and drink sweet drinks, and send a share to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our lord. Do not be grieved because the joy of Yahweh is your refuge."
All of the people went to eat, to drink, to send a share, and to have great joy because they understood the words that they had made known to them.
Behold, we are slaves to this day, and the land that you have given to our ancestors to eat its fruits and [enjoy] its goodness--behold, we are slaves in it!
