This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe birds in a broader sense, encompassing various species without the specific connotations of choice or domestication found in the Hebrew בַּרְבֻּר. Usage: The term בַּרְבֻּר appears in the context of describing birds that are considered choice or valuable, often used in reference to food or offerings. Context: The Hebrew word בַּרְבֻּר is found in the Old Testament, specifically in 1 Kings 4:23, where it is listed among the provisions for King Solomon's table. The passage highlights the abundance and variety of food supplied daily for the king's household, indicating the wealth and prosperity of Solomon's reign. The term is translated as "fattened fowl" in the Berean Standard Bible, suggesting birds that were specially raised or selected for consumption. This reflects the cultural and historical practices of animal husbandry and dietary customs in ancient Israel, where certain birds were considered delicacies. The choice of birds for royal consumption underscores the importance of hospitality and the demonstration of wealth and status in the ancient Near Eastern context.
