Tag: Food in the bible

Cheese is mentioned explicitly in several biblical texts, including when David is sent with 'ten cheeses' to his brothers fighting Goliath. So, can you eat cheese in the Bible according to scripture? The short answer is yes, as it was a common and accepted food in ancient times.

Biblical dietary rules have changed significantly over time, evolving from an initial plant-based mandate to a system of clean and unclean foods and finally to a focus on spiritual freedom and moderation. Understanding what kind of diet does the Bible say we should eat requires examining this progressive revelation through Scripture.
