As used at Nehemiah 8: 10, mash·man·nimʹ seems to refer to food prepared with a large quantity of oil and may even have included meat with some traces of fat but not layers of pure animal fat. Although the Israelites were forbidden to consume the layers of animal fat, they could eat rich, tasty food.
(‏ تث ٨ :‏ ٨ ؛‏ لا ٢٤ :‏ ٢‏ )‏ لذلك يبدو ان ماشمانّيم ،‏ كما هي مستعملة في نحميا ٨ :‏ ١٠‏ ،‏ تشير الى اطعمة استُخدمت في تحضيرها كمية كبيرة من الزيت ،‏ وربما شملت لحما فيه مقدار ضئيل من الشحم لا طبقات من شحم الحيوان الخالص .‏
