Topical Lexicon
Word Origin:A primitive root
Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance isG1470, ἐγκρυφίας (enkruphías), which refers to a type of cake or bread. This Greek term is used in the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, to translate Hebrew terms related to baking and bread-making, reflecting the cultural and religious significance of bread in both Hebrew and Greek contexts.
Usage:The verb עוּג (ʿûg) is used in the context of baking, particularly in reference to the preparation of bread or cakes. It is a term that appears in the context of food preparation in ancient Israelite culture.
Context:The Hebrew verb עוּג (ʿûg) is a primitive root that primarily means "to bake." This term is used in the context of preparing food, specifically bread or cakes, which were staple items in the diet of ancient Near Eastern peoples, including the Israelites. The process of baking in biblical times involved the use of ovens or hot stones, and the resulting bread was a crucial part of daily sustenance. The act of baking is often associated with hospitality and provision, as seen in various biblical narratives where bread is offered to guests or used in religious offerings.
In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used in contexts that highlight the importance of bread as a symbol of God's provision and sustenance. For example, inGenesis 18:6, when Abraham prepares a meal for his divine visitors, the act of baking bread is a key component of the hospitality shown. Similarly, in1 Kings 17:12-13, the widow of Zarephath is instructed by Elijah to bake a small cake for him, demonstrating faith in God's provision during a time of famine.
