Eat of it意思

"Eat of it" is an English phrase that means to consume or take a portion of something, typically food. It is an archaic or poetic way of saying "eat it" and is not commonly used in modern English. The phrase is often found in religious or literary texts, where it adds a formal or old-fashioned tone to the language.

For example, in the Bible, the phrase "eat of it" is used to describe the act of partaking in the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:16-17). Similarly, in the story of the Last Supper, Jesus tells his disciples to "eat of it," referring to the bread, which symbolizes his body (Matthew 26:26-29).

In modern English, the phrase "eat of it" is rarely used in everyday conversation. People would typically say "eat it" or "have a piece of it" to mean the same thing. However, if you come across this phrase in a text that aims to capture an old-fashioned or literary style, it simply means to consume or partake in whatever is being referred to.
