'Eat' in the Bible

because certain of them kept claiming, "Since we have so many sons and daughters, we must get some grain so we can eat and survive."

The governor ordered them not to eat anything holy until a priest would be installed with Urim and Thummim.

He also told them, "Go eat the best food, drink the best wine, and give something to those who have nothing, since this day is holy to our Lord. Don't be sorrowful, because the joy of the LORD is your strength."

So all the people went to eat, to drink, to send something to those who had nothing, and to celebrate with great joy, because they understood the words that were being declared to them.
