11 and thou shalt be·​·glad before Jehovah thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy servant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite who is within thy gates, and the sojourner, and the orphan, and the widow, who are in among thee in the place where Jehovah thy God has chosen to cause His name to abide.

Bread

The word “bread” is used two ways in the Bible. In some cases it means actual bread; in others it stands for food in general. Food in the Bible represents everything good and true coming to use from the Lord. Of all foods, though, bread itself is perhaps the most basic and pure. As such it represents the most central of all desires for good: the love of the Lord Himself.
