Talmud zu Bereschit 45:23

Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Abba said, Rebbi Joḥanan ate bake-meats¹²Cf. Ḥallah 1:5, Note 164; baked goods, not bread, made in the market. An exaggerated parallel to this is in the Babli, Berakhot 44a. and said, I did not taste food on that day. But did we not state¹³Erubin 3:1. That Mishnah contradicts R. Joḥanan.: “He who made a vow not to eat food is permitted water and salt”? Explain it following Rebbi Joshia, who said, in matters of vows one follows biblical usage. And from where that everything is called food? Rebbi Aḥa bar Ulla said¹⁴Gen. 45:23; the verse implies that “food” is different from grain and bread. The Babli, Berakhot 35b, disagrees and defines as מזון any food made from grain.: “And ten female donkeys carrying grain, bread, and food.” Why does the verse say, “and food”? From here that everything is called food.

Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Abba said, Rebbi Joḥanan ate bake-meats and said, I did not taste (anything) [food]⁶³The text of Eruvin (in parentheses) has to be emended to the text in Nedarim and Nazir [in brackets] to make sense. Babli Berakhot 44a. on that day. But did we not state: “He who made a vow not to eat food is permitted water and salt”? Explain it following Rebbi Joshia, who said, in matters of vows one follows biblical usage. And from where that everything is called food? Rebbi Aḥa bar Ulla said⁶⁴Gen. 45:23.: And tenfemale donkeys carrying grain, bread, and food. Why does the verse say, and food? From here that everything is called food⁶⁵Babli Berakhot 35b..
