o.khel denotes provisions to be eaten, whether purchased, gathered, stored, supplied, or lacking.

   In Genesis 41:35 the construct forms occur in the command to gather and store provisions from the good years in the cities. In Exodus 16:16 the construct form is tied to each person gathering an amount for eating, while Genesis 42:7 places the absolute form in the brothers' purpose of coming to buy provisions. The same concrete supply is described as something the fields fail to produce in Habakkuk 3:17 and as something given at its proper time in Psalm 104:27.

In the Anselm Paraphrase: The APB commonly presents the term as “food,” including provisions bought, stored, eaten, or supplied; in some clauses it uses “grain” or describes eating instead. Because the paraphrase is not word-aligned, these renderings confirm the surrounding provision-for-consumption context rather than assigning every English expression directly to the term.
