Thoughts And Things Of The Bible -- Bake
Baking was the duty of preparing bread was usually, in ancient times,
committed to the females or the slaves of the family (Gen. 18:6; Lev.
26:26; 1 Sam. 8:13); but at a later period we find a class of public
bakers mentioned (Hos. 7:4, 6; Jer. 37:21). The bread was generally in
the form of long or round cakes (Ex. 29:23; 1 Sam. 2:36), of a thinness
that rendered them easily broken (Isa. 58:7; Matt. 14:19; 26:26; Acts
20:11). Common ovens were generally used; at other times a jar was
half-filled with hot pebbles, and the dough was spread over them. Hence
we read of "cakes baken on the coals" (1 Kings 19:6), and
"baken in the oven" (Lev. 2:4).
