Word of the Day - 1/27/2009

Provender

Provender is dry food, as hay or oats, for livestock or other domestic animals; fodder.

In Jesus' Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32), the prodigal becomes so desperate for sustenance that he longed for even provender.

"And he would have gladly filled his stomach with the pods that the swine were eating, and no one was giving anything to him." (Luke 15:16, NASB)
