Topical Encyclopedia

Flour, a finely ground powder made from grains or seeds, holds significant importance in the biblical narrative, both as a staple food item and as a symbol in religious rituals. In ancient times, flour was primarily made from wheat or barley, and it played a crucial role in the daily sustenance of the people of Israel, as well as in their worship practices.

Biblical References and Uses

Flour is frequently mentioned in the Bible, often in the context of offerings and sacrifices. In the Old Testament, flour was a key ingredient in the grain offerings presented to God.Leviticus 2:1 states, "When anyone presents an offering of grain to the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour. He is to pour oil on it, put frankincense on it." This offering, known as the "minchah," was a voluntary act of worship, symbolizing the offerer's dedication and gratitude to God.

In addition to its use in offerings, flour was a fundamental component of daily bread, a staple in the diet of the Israelites. The process of grinding grain into flour and baking it into bread is depicted in various passages, illustrating the labor-intensive nature of food preparation in ancient times.Genesis 18:6 recounts how Abraham instructed Sarah to "quickly prepare three seahs of fine flour, knead it, and bake some bread" for their divine visitors.

Symbolism and Spiritual Significance

Flour, as a basic element of sustenance, often symbolizes life and provision in the Bible. The miraculous provision of flour during times of need is a recurring theme, demonstrating God's care and faithfulness. In1 Kings 17:14-16 , during a severe famine, the prophet Elijah assures the widow of Zarephath, "For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'The jar of flour will not be exhausted, and the jug of oil will not run dry, until the day the LORD sends rain on the face of the earth.'" This miracle underscores God's ability to provide abundantly even in dire circumstances.

Flour also holds a place in the New Testament, where it is used in parables to convey spiritual truths. InMatthew 13:33 , Jesus compares the kingdom of heaven to leaven that a woman took and mixed into "three measures of flour until all of it was leavened." This parable illustrates the transformative power of the kingdom of God, spreading and permeating every aspect of life.

Cultural and Historical Context

In the ancient Near East, the production of flour was a labor-intensive process, typically carried out by women. The grain was ground using a hand mill or a larger millstone, and the resulting flour was used to make various types of bread, a dietary staple. The quality of flour, often referred to as "fine flour," was important, especially in the context of offerings, where only the best was deemed acceptable for God.

Flour's role in religious rituals extended beyond the Israelites. It was also used in the worship practices of surrounding cultures, though the biblical narrative emphasizes the distinctiveness of Israel's worship and the purity required in offerings to the LORD.

Conclusion

Flour, as depicted in the Bible, is more than just a physical substance; it is imbued with spiritual significance, representing God's provision, the dedication of His people, and the transformative power of His kingdom. Through its various uses and symbolic meanings, flour serves as a reminder of the sustenance and spiritual nourishment that God provides to His people.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Flour

[BREAD]

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Grain reduced to the form of meal is spoken of in the time of Abraham (Genesis 18:6). As baking was a daily necessity, grain was also ground daily at the mills (Jeremiah 25:10). The flour mingled with water was kneaded in kneading-troughs, and sometimes leaven (Exodus 12:34) was added and sometimes omitted (Genesis 19:3). The dough was then formed into thin cakes nine or ten inches in diameter and baked in the oven.

Fine flour was offered by the poor as a sin-offering (Leviticus 5:11-13), and also in connection with other sacrifices (Numbers 15:3-12;28:7-29).

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary

1. (n.) The finely ground meal of wheat, or of any other grain; especially, the finer part of meal separated by bolting; hence, the fine and soft powder of any substance; as, flour of emery; flour of mustard.

2. (v. t.) To grind and bolt; to convert into flour; as, to flour wheat.

3. (v. t.) To sprinkle with flour.
