In the other Testament 2 words

βρῶμα brōma · G1033 · food, solid food, meat: Hebrew אֹכֶל denotes physical food or edible matter broadly (including prey, victuals, meal occasions); Greek βρῶμα functions as its direct translation equivalent in LXX usage, carrying the same core semantic range of consumable food with added ceremonial law connotations in Jewish Greek contexts.
βρῶσις brōsis · G1035 · to eat, eating, a meal: אֹכֶל (ʼôkel, H400) and βρῶσις (brōsis, G1035) both denote food/eating as a general concept, with the Greek term appearing in LXX renderings of the Hebrew and both encompassing both the concrete substance (food) and the abstract action (eating).
