mat'ammim מַטְעַמִּים mat'ammim

SAVORY FOOD — 'tasty things,' a delicacy (from ta'am, 'taste'): the dish of game Isaac craves and the disguise Rebekah cooks from two kids to fool him (27:4, 9, 31). KJV 'savoury meat'; NWT 'a tasty dish.' A small, human detail — the old blind man's love of a favorite meal — turned into the very instrument of the deception; the taste that was meant to confirm his son is the taste that helps steal the blessing. → first discussed at Gen 27:4
