To eat of - partitive use.

In the midst of the garden grew the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and God had forbidden man to eat of its fruit saying “In the day that thou eatest thereof thou shall surely die”.

Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. King James Bible "Authorized Version", Cambridge Edition
