Usage: The term θρέμμα is used in the New Testament to denote animals that are kept and fed by humans, often in the context of livestock or domesticated creatures. Context: The Greek word θρέμμα (thréma) appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize the relationship between humans and domesticated animals. This term is rooted in the concept of nourishment and care, reflecting the dependency of these creatures on human provision. In the agrarian societies of the biblical world, livestock played a crucial role in daily life, providing food, clothing, and labor. The use of θρέμμα underscores the responsibility of humans to care for and sustain these animals, which in turn serve human needs. In the Berean Standard Bible, θρέμμα is used to illustrate broader spiritual or moral lessons, often drawing parallels between the care of animals and the care of one's spiritual life or community. The nurturing relationship implied by θρέμμα can also serve as a metaphor for God's provision and care for His creation, highlighting themes of stewardship and responsibility.
