Bible Foods: 20 Mentioned Foods With

ScripturesbyDavidon September 17, 2012 7 comments Print Email

There are many different foods mentioned in the Bible. Some are common, some are

rare and others are plain disgusting to us today. Though there are more than twice this

many different foods mentioned in the Bible, here is a look at 20 of them. And, no, I am

not going to reveal what the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was

because I dont know.

Here are 19 common foods found in the Bible (and 1 not so common) with some

verses. There are more references for some of these foods than what I include.

Almonds

Genesis 43:11And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do this;

take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a

little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:

Numbers 17:8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the

tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded,

and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.

sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and

testified against them in the day wherein they sold victuals.

Salt

neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meatoffering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.

Deuteronomy 6:11 And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and

wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst

and sheep abundantly: for there was joy in Israel.

Bread

There are more than 300 instances of the word bread in the Bible. Here are the first and

last verses I found which mentioned bread.

Genesis 3:19In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the

ground; for out ofit wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

2 Thessalonians 3:12Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord

Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

Flour

wafers unleavened anointed with oil: of wheaten flour shalt thou make them.

1 Chronicles 9:29Some of them also were appointed to oversee the vessels, and all

the instruments of the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the

frankincense, and the spices.

in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat

by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.

Fish

Numbers 11:5 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the

cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:


4/6

Matthew 14:17, 19 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two

fishes. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five

loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave

the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

Calf

gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.

Goat

Genesis 27:9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the

goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:

Deuteronomy 14:4, 5These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and

the goat, The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the

pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.

Lamb

2 Samuel 12:3, 4 But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he

had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children;

it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was untohim as a daughter. And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take

of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto

him; but took the poor mans lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.

Ezekiel 39:18Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of

the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.

Sheep

Psalm 44:11Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered usamong the heathen.

Isaiah 22:13 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating

flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.

Butter

Genesis 18:8And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set

it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.

Isaiah 7:22And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give he

5/6

Cheese

2 Samuel 17:29And honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, for David, and

for the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The people is hungry, and

weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.

Job 10:10Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled melike cheese?

Milk

Exodus 3:8And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and

to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with

milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites,

and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

Judges 4:19And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for Iam thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.

[Then she drove a spike through his head. True story!]

Eggs

Job 6:6Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the

white of an egg?

Luke 11:12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

Honey

Exodus 3:17And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the

land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the

Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.

Judges 14:8, 9Andafter a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the

carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of

the lion. And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father

and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had takenthe honey out of the carcase of the lion.

Locust

Yes, this is the gross one I mentioned earlier. Both these verses are talking about John

the Baptist living on a diet of locusts and honey. When the Bible talks about locusts it is

commonly referring to what we call grasshoppers today.

Matthew 3:4 And the same John had his raiment of camels hair, and a leathern

girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.


6/6

Mark 1:6And John was clothed with camels hair, and with a girdle of a skin about

his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;

I was teaching about John one time in Mexico when I read these verses. The word for

grasshopper and the word for lobster in Spanish is the same word, langosta. I asked

the teenagers in church if they liked langosta and then I indicated that I was talkingabout lobster. One of the boys said that it was ok, but not his favorite food. Then when I

told them that the verse was talking about grasshoppers and not lobster, this same boys

eyes lit up. He replied, Oh! Those are very good with chocolate.

Just because we dont think of them as food does not mean other people dont enjoy

them.

In my study I learned that this is fewer than half of the food items mentioned in the

Bible. It would be a fun project to highlight all the references to food when you are

reading through your Bible. You could have a special color pen or pencil that you use

for this purpose.
