Meaning of Meat

The word "meat" appears some 280 times in the Bible but is translated from a variety of different words in both the Greek and the Hebrew. It generally means something that is eaten or in some manner consumed.

Why are their so many references to food and provisions in the Bible? Nimrod was a mighty hunter before the Lord". The word "hunter" is tsayid [1] commonly translated venison, hunter, victuals, provision and really means someone who obtains "provision, food, food-supply".

Israel had no Cain, Nimrod, Pharaoh or Caesar to provide free bread. They had "meat offerings" the Levites in the form of freewill offerings. The early Church provided for one another through charity where ministers provided welfare in a daily ministration of hope rightly dividing the bread from house to house rather than depending on the force of men of the world who call themselves benefactors but exercise authority one over the other.

John the Baptist was clear that we take care of the people's needs through sharing, not through force. Jesus preached love and sacrifice, not covetous practices which Peter said would make us merchandise and curse children.

Unless you are taking care of all the social welfare of society through charity you are not practicing Pure Religion.
