In the biblical account, plants and seeds are provided by God for human sustenance. The book of Genesis records that God gave humanity every seed-bearing plant for food, including those that produce beans. Ezekiel 4:9 mentions a bread made from wheat, barley, beans, and other grains, highlighting the importance of these staples in ancient diets. Additionally, 2 Samuel 17:28 notes the provision of beans as a food source during a time of need, while Genesis 1-3 establishes the broader context of God's creation and provision for humanity. Genesis 9:3 also reaffirms the permission to eat seeds and plants, including beans.
