Meat, Meats
Meat, Meats
Meat, Meats. This word as it occurs in our version is frequently used for food in general, Lev 22:11; Lev 22:13, R. V., “bread;” 1Sa 20:5; 1Sa 20:34; 2Sa 3:35, R. V., “bread,” and elsewhere, or for what is allowed to be eaten, proper for sustenance, Gen 1:29-30; Gen 9:3, where the R. V. reads “food.” More specially, though perhaps sometimes indicating, as in our ordinary employment of the term, flesh-meat, Gen 27:4; Gen 27:7; Gen 27:33, it is almost exclusively applied to vegetables or vegetable products. Thus a meat-offering, R. V. “meal-offering,” was a kind of cake made of flour and oil. Lev 2:1-16.
