Food, drink, and feasting represent both the stuff of everyday life and potent symbols for worship, identity, and power since time immemorial and throughout the globe. However, the ways they exercise influence take shape in accordance with the realities and imaginations of distinct cultural settings. This volume provides an overview of the ways that these elements and motifs appear in the texts of Hebrew Bible in relation to its larger cultural and historical context. After considering food as a broader anthropological object of study, it discusses the features of regular provision in ancient Israel. Specific investigations include feasts, prohibitions, fasting, along with connections with sexuality, worship, and identity in relation to the foodways of the broader region.
