Word Origin: Derived from the root חָבַת (chavat), meaning "to bake" or "to cook."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "machabath," the concept of cooking or baking offerings can be related to Greek terms used in the Septuagint for sacrificial practices, such as "πύρ" (pur, fire) and "θυσία" (thusia, sacrifice).

Usage: The term "machabath" refers to a flat pan or griddle used in ancient Israelite culture for cooking or baking, particularly for preparing offerings. It is often associated with the preparation of unleavened bread or cakes, which were part of the grain offerings presented to God.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the "machabath" was an essential utensil in both domestic and religious settings. It was used to prepare food offerings that were part of the sacrificial system outlined in the Mosaic Law. The use of a griddle or pan for offerings highlights the importance of presenting food in a manner that was both practical and symbolic, reflecting the Israelites' dedication to God through their daily sustenance.
