The Assyrian deity of the hymnist also provides food for the gods, probably through the sacrifices, which in turn were dependent upon the crops:
Thou suppliest the food of god and goddess,
The creator among them art thou.
—Hymn to Marduk No. 9.
Yahwe provides food not only for man but also for the beasts:
Who giveth to the beast its food,
To the young ravens which cry.
—Psalm 147:9.
The young lions roar after their prey,
And seek from God their food.
