Alimento
O alimento é provisão de Deus para o corpo e a alma. Jesus disse: Eu sou o pão da vida. A Bíblia ensina a receber com gratidão, partilhar com generosidade e confiar no Provedor.
O pão da vida
Jesus disse: Eu sou o pão da vida. Quem vem a mim nunca terá fome. O alimento espiritual sacia plenamente.
Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Ani Hu the lechem haChayyim; the one coming to me never hungers, and the one with emunah in me will never thirst again.
Do not work for the okhel that is perishing, but for the okhel remaining to Chayyei Olam, which the Bar Enosh will give to you, for Elohim HaAv has set His chotam (seal) on this one.
But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach answered, Katuv (It is written), LO AL HALECHEM LVADOH YCHEYEH HAADAM, KI AL KOL MOTZAH FI HASHEM (Man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of Hashem).
Ashrey are the ones hungering and thirsting for TZIDKAT Hashem (Tzedek Olamim, Everlasting Righteousness), for they will be satisfied.
But seek first the Malchut Hashem and the Tzidkat Hashem, and all these things will be added to you.
Therefore, I say to you, Do not have a LEV ROGEZ (anxious heart) about your life, what you might wear or what you might drink, nor for your basar, what you might put on. Is not life more than okhel (food) and basar more than malbush (clothing)?
As new born olalim (infants), desire the pure cholov ruchani (spiritual milk), that by it you may grow into Yeshu’at Eloheynu,
Provisão divina
Deus provê alimento em abundância. Ele multiplica pães e peixes, enche os famintos e supre toda necessidade.
And having taken the chamesh kikrot and the shnei hadagim, and having looked up to Shomayim, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said a bracha over them, and offered the betziat halechem, and was giving to the talmidim to set before the multitude. And they ate and all were satisfied, and they picked up shirayim, shneym asar baskets full.
For He satisfieth the longing nefesh,
and filleth the hungry nefesh with the tov.
Bring ye kol hama’aser (all the tithes) into the Beis HaOtzar (House of the Treasury),
that there may be teref (food) in Mine Beis,
and prove Me now herewith,
saith Hashem Tzva’os,
if I will not open you the windows of Shomayim,
and pour you out a brocha,
that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Now the one supplying ZERA (seed) to the sower and LECHEM for okhel (food) will supply and will multiply your zera and will increase the p’ri of the Tzedek of you; TARGUM HASHIVIM
The nefesh berakhah (generous person) shall be made to prosper,
and he that watereth shall be refreshed also himself.
Pleasant words are as a honeycomb,
sweet to the nefesh, and marpeh (healing) to the atzmot (bones).
Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the choice foods, and drink the sweet things, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is kadosh unto Adoneinu; neither be ye grieving; for the chedvah (joy) of Hashem is your strength.
Gratidão e moderação
Nada trouxemos para o mundo e nada levaremos. Tudo o que fizerdes, fazei para a glória de Deus — inclusive comer e beber.
For we brought nothing into the Olam Hazeh, neither are we able to carry anything out of it, But having okhel (food) and begadim (clothes), with these we will be satisfied.
Whether, therefore, you eat or you drink or whatever you do, do all things to the kavod (glory) of Hashem.
And yom yom, devoting themselves with one mind in the courts of the Beis Hamikdash, and from bais to bais, offering the Betzi’at HaLechem, they were together at tish with single-hearted exultation and hitlahavut. Praising Hashem, and having favor with all the people while G-d was adding to their number yom yom those receiving yeshu’at Eloheinu.
Hinei, I have stood at the delet (door) DOFEK (knocking); if anyone hears my kol and opens the delet, indeed I will come in to him and we, the two of us, will dine together at the BEIT HAYAYIN.
Let the one who eats not hold in contempt or despise the one who does not eat, and let not the one who does not eat pass judgment on the one who eats, for Hashem treats him as an oreach ratzuy (welcome guest).
Therefore, let no one judge you [Goyim] in eating and in drinking or in respect to a yom tov (yontev) or a rosh chodesh or Shabbos; Which are a shadow of the things to come in the Olam HaBah; but the reality, the substance, is Moshiach.
And He humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did Avoteicha know; that He might make thee know that man doth not live by lechem only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of Hashem doth man live.
These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat, And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is tameh (unclean) unto you.
And G-d said, Hinei, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of kol ha’aretz (all the earth), and every etz (tree), in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food.
Every remes that liveth shall be food for you; even as the yarok esev (green plant) have I given you all. But basar with the nefesh thereof, which is the dahm thereof, shall ye not eat.
Choice lechem I did not eat, neither came basar nor yayin into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, until the completing of the full shloshet shavu’im.
