- Genesis 1:29
Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit contains seed. They will be yours for food.
Commentary on Genesis 1:291 voice
The historical meaning, at least, of this sentence indicates clearly that originally God permitted the use of foods from vegetation, that is, vegetables and the fruits of trees. But the opportunity of eating flesh is given to men later when a covenant was made with Noah after the flood.

- Genesis 1:30
And to every beast of the earth and every bird of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth—everything that has the breath of life in it—I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.
- Proverbs 15:17
Better a dish of vegetables where there is love than a fattened ox with hatred.
Commentary on Proverbs 15:171 voice
A dinner of herbs - The meals of the poor and the abstemious. The “stalled ox,” like the “fatted calf” of Luk 15:23, would indicate a stately magnificence.
