מַאֲכָל (maʾăkāl) is
a Hebrew noun
meaning food. It appears
30 times
in 18 books of the Hebrew Bible
(Strong's H3978).
Same Hebrew root (TWOT 85d)
Root family 85: אַכַלʾakal — eat, consume, devour, burn up, feed. (ASV and RSV are generally the same. One notable exception is found in Ps 27:2 where RSV has “slander” instead of “eat my flesh” in accordance with an Akkadian and Aramaic idiom, “to eat a piece of me” meaning “to slander me.”)
