Sustaining food for a journey · dominant
The feminine singular absolute noun occurs in 1 Kings 19:8 after the eating and drinking and before the statement about walking in its strength. In 1 Kings 19:8 the APB renders the clause "walked in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights," presenting the food as the provision associated with the journey.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Kings 19:8, the APB presents the noun within "the strength of that food." This identifies the verse's presentation rather than a precise lexical rendering.
